+ <youpi> we however have a similar symptom with screen
+ <youpi> shells don't terminate
+ <braunr> yes
+ <youpi> or at least the window doesn't close
+ <braunr> the screen problem is the same as the term servers not being properly closed
+ <youpi> k
+ <braunr> that one is still on my todo list
+ <braunr> and not easy
+ <youpi> like so many small items on the TODO lists :)
+ <braunr> that one is an important one :)
+ <braunr> because we're still using legacy pty, the number of terms is
+ limited
+ <braunr> which means at some point we can't log in any more using them
+ <braunr> (i regularly kill pty terms on darnassus to avoid that)
+ <braunr> it prevents screen and rsyslogd iirc from working correctly, which
+ is very annoying
+ <braunr> there may be other issues
