If a parent process goes away, various things happen such as
-* Children get sent a [SIGHUP], it's not that if
the parent process goes away,
it's if the terminal goes away, normally closing the session leader closes the terminal too
. :)
+* Children get sent a [SIGHUP], most processing die when receiving a [SIGHUP]. This is what happens when you close a [Terminal] and
the processes started from
it are killed
.
