Closing Terminal does not warn about open background tasks #20

Open elementaryBot opened 7 years ago

elementaryBot commented 7 years ago

It's easy to suspend Ctrl+Z a task, and forget about it, In such scenarios closing the terminal should result in a warning, confirming if the user really wants to close and kill the background tasks.

Additionally, I add the following criteria when I mark importance:

Critical: This is probably a crasher. This problem makes the app completely unusable and is an emergency.

Low: This is an annoyance, but it does not prevent a user from using the app. Likely a "papercut" or small visual design issue.

Wishlist: This is not a problem with existing features, this is an enhancement or a new feature.

Dan: +1 that's pretty much exactly what I use too.

Also where we are in the milestone (nearing release) factors in too, right now certain things are more likely to have a lower priority than if we were working on Luna+1.

Still a valid issue. We should either issue the warning or just bring that stopped task back up when you reopen Terminal (personally I'm a fan of the latter)

In case such jobs have already been restarted in the background (e.g. using bg), another option could be to silently disown the job before closing Terminal, so that the job isn't killed. But a warning could still be warranted, since the output from that job would then be lost (AFAIK).
