Yes, that's what's supposed to happen. How could you run daemons from
the command line otherwise?
You can use the `huponexit' shell option, but that's only in effect for
interactive login shells.
Also, by default, the shell looks for stopped jobs when it exits (or
running jobs with the `checkjobs' option enabled) and reports them.
This allows you to send them a HUP if you want.
