#3745: Preferences : "[x] Warn upon closing active programs" ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: mmadia | Owner: jackburton Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Terminal | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment (by jackburton): Replying to [comment:3 bonefish]: > Maybe I misunderstand what you're saying. waitpid() does not tell you whether there are still living children. It does only tell you about terminated children. I don't see what this has to do with this ticket, though. Isn't this just about checking whether number of tabs > 1 before quitting? More useful would be what the Gnome Terminal do. If you have an active program executed in the shell (for example, a ssh or telnet session), it warns you (on close) that there is something active. I thought waitpid() could be used to check that, but I probably misread the documentation. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3745#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
