All processes are terminated when last bash window closed

[gczuczy]

When the last Bash window is closed, all the linux processes are terminated, including daemons, like sshd, or ssh-agent. I think background processes should be kept alive across sessions.

Windows versions: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

Reproduction: launch ssh-agent, close all the bash windows, start a new one, look for the already started daemon.
OR: start sshd, ssh into the linux subsystem, close all bash windows, and your ssh session will terminate.

By design for now. Once they open up the COM interface, you could probably program it to control an instance with something like a tray icon.
