how process in background can kill itself after logout (BSD unix).

[David S Hoelzer]

Another easy way to have a bg process commit suicide is this:(I havent got any
code handy, so a description will have to do)

	get the tty from which it was run.
	Every so often, spawn a process to check the tty to see if it is still
	owned by it's parent.  If not, out it goes..
