    Yes, generally, this is how you do it.

    You shouldnt need to. If you mean that you want to kill some application
    that you started
    in your old session, then try the kill (man kill) command.

    Save the output from cvsup. If you're using the GUI, just click the save
    button, and it will save in the "./cvsup.log" (or something like that). If
    you're using the command line cvsup, I cant recall any flag for output
    saves, but you can always use the script (man script) command, like so...

    # script /home/youruser/yourlog.file
    ...some info...
    # cvsup yourcvsupfile
    ...updating updating updating...
    # <ctrl-d>
    ...done...

    Now, check the /home/youruser/yourlog.file for changes and updates.
