Rosrun, node is not removed from rosnode list after exit
Hello,
I am new to ROS and currently I'm following the tutorial of ROS. Everything went smooth till now. I am at tutorial: http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/UnderstandingNodes
At about in the middle you have to execute the command rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node. Which will starte a node called turtlesim, because no other name is provided. Then you have to run rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node __name:=my_turtle and execute the command rosnode list.
In the tutorial there is a note below the laste command saying
Note: If you still see /turtlesim in the list, it might mean that you don't have $ROS_HOSTNAME environment variable defined as described in Network Setup - Single Machine Configuration.
Now I still see /turtlesim in the list, even after I try to kill it using rosnode kill turtlesim. I however, believe, have the correct settings for Network Setup. After echoing the variables ROS_HOSTNAME (which value is localhost) and ROS_MASTER_URI (which value is http://localhost:11311)
Now can I just ignore this that /turtlesim was still in the list, even when it was closed? Because the ROS_HOSTNAME is definitly set correct.
-edit- maybe this can give some light on the matter at hand?
