So the answer is yes. So, if I'm in runlevel 5, login should start it, correct? Except that the more I think about it, the more I'm back to my original problem: if it automagically starts it, why does it not automagically STOP it when I log out, the way it does every other of my processes, except for something I explicitly backgrounded (I mean, I remember when I had to nohup things like that)? mark
