The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

And as Sam/Jan mentioned you have to execute disown to avoid killing the process after you close the terminal.
disown -h
The command to seperate a running job from the shell ( = makes it nohup) is disown and a basic shell-command.
ReplyDeleteFrom bash-manpage (man bash):
disown [-ar] [-h] [jobspec ...]
Without options, each jobspec is removed from the table of active jobs. If the -h option is given, each jobspec is not
removed from the table, but is marked so that SIGHUP is not sent to the job if the shell receives a SIGHUP. If no jobspec is
present, and neither the -a nor the -r option is supplied, the current job is used. If no jobspec is supplied, the -a option
means to remove or mark all jobs; the -r option without a jobspec argument restricts operation to running jobs. The return
value is 0 unless a jobspec does not specify a valid job.
That means, that a simple
disown
will remove all jobs from the job-table and makes them nohup
these are good answers above, I just wanted to add a clarification, You can't disown a pid or process, you disown a Job, and there is an important distinction. A Job is something that is a notion of a process that is attached to a shell. Therefore, you have to through the job into the background (not suspend it) and then disown it.

Suppose for some reason Ctrl+Z is also not working, go to another terminal, find the process id (using ps) and run
ReplyDeletekill -20 PID
kill -18 PID
kill -20 will suspend the process and kill -18 will resume the process, in your other terminal
