Maybe you need a better telnet client. (I'm assuming the telnet client is
running on Windows.)

In the first place, the telnet program should perform an orderly termination
of the TCP/IP connection, if a) the telnet program is closed, or b) Windows is
shut down properly. This will NOT help, though, if the SIGHUP signal is
ignored (trapped) on the Unix end.

Secondly, the telnet client can prevent client-side quitting. This forces the
user to properly 'exit' from the Unix system.

Anzio (out telnet client) has both these features.

Of course, nothing will help of they just "turn it off and go home".

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
