Lifetime of a bash console

Hi all,

Do opened bash consoles have a limited lifetime? Because earlier today all my processes in bash console stopped to run for an unknown reason. My processes were not in the tarpit (only 15% of time allowance is used).

Regards,

Normally we let non-tarpit processes run forever, but occasionally we have to reboot the servers for maintenance reasons, and that kills all processes, obviously. There may be some voodoo magic we can do with checkpointing to let processes freeze and survive a reboot, or even be transferred to a different server, but it'll take us a while to get to that...

Okay, thanks!
