Processes Running on Server [1]

I use the X-Start program to access UNIX servers. Within this program I use the telnet with dtterm option to connect. I connect to the servers with no problem. Once I exit the session, I go back to the server and there is a -ksh process still running associated to the last login. I do not exit the X-start program, I always have it running. Most of the time I leave my computer logged in with at least one real session active. How can these jobs get killed without having to do it manually? This gives a false sense that someone is still logged into the box and eventually I could have 5 - 10 empty sessions appear. Any help would be appreciated.

In this example, only pts/6 and pts/3 are really active.

Seems the only way to end them is to stop the X-Manager that is currently running. Should close out all connections when the last window is closed to that server.

You can terminate telnet connections after successfully running a remote X application. Please set the value of "Xstart->Advanced->Timeout" to 20 ~ 60 seconds. The value "0" means that the telnet session is not terminated until Xmanager closes.

Some X applications that generate output messages might be terminated if the telnet shell is not running. However most xterm-like applications don't have a problem even if the telnet shell is terminated.
