[Linux-disciples] Killing processes when exiting a shell

[Stephen R Laniel]

Try the following sequence of actions:

1) Start a process -- say, mutt -- from the terminal.
2) Suspend it with Ctrl+Z.
3) You're now back at the terminal window. Type 'exit'.
4) The shell warns you that there are jobs still running.
   Type 'exit' again. The shell quits, and with it the mutt
   process.

Is there any way to get the shell not to quit, even if you
type exit twice? I've accidentally killed a number of
processes that way.
