how process in background can kill itself after logout (BSD unix).

[Terry Heatlie - Sun UK - Tech Support]

not going away on logout is a feature of processes run in the background
from the C shell.  I guess running the processes from a bourne shell
instead may make it die when you log out.  Alternatively, you could kill
the process from your .logout.
