I just lost a lot of computation when a long-running program of mine was unceremoniously destroyed by xmonad.
XMonad aside, I always run long-running computations inside GNU screen, to avoid any risk of accidentally killing them by logging out, or killing the terminal, or other such pitfalls (the probability of which mysteriously seems to increase exponentially the longer and more important the computation is!) If your computations are command-line programs (most are), you might find it useful. Best, Toby -- Dr T. S.
