I just started mc in a few of my xterms, and here's the result:
32195 p0 S 0:00 mc
32197 pe S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32200 p9 S 0:00 mc
32202 pf S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32203 p8 S 0:00 mc
32205 q0 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32206 pa S 0:00 mc
32208 q1 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32209 pb S 0:00 mc
32211 q2 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32212 pd S 0:00 mc
32214 q3 S 0:00 bash -rcfile .bashrc
32215 p4 R 0:00 ps ax
32216 p4 S 0:00 less
My .xsession starts up 14 xterms, and I run mc locally in a few of them,
and remote mc with ssh in several more. So I wouldn't worry. Having them
ready and waiting is far quicker for me than having to start them when
I already need them. (There are 90 processes running and I'm really in
my lunch break.)
Cheers,
