write your commond in gnome-terminal <div class="gmail_quote">2008/11/28 H.S. <<a href="mailto:hs.samix@gmail.com">hs.samix@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Hello, I am trying out the application launcher in gnome. If I create an application launcher that starts with a wget command, it starts of okay: the gnome-terminal opens and wget starts working. However, if I close that gnome terminal, wget appears to continue running in the background. Isn't wget supposed to close when the terminal window is closed?
