`non_modal` changes the logging level

[samwaseda]

lmp = pr.create.job.Lammps('lmp')
lmp.structure = pr.create.structure.bulk('Al', cubic=True)
lmp.server.run_mode.non_modal = True
murn = lmp.create_job('Murnaghan', 'murn')
murn.server.run_mode.non_modal = True
murn.run()

For some reason this changes the logging level.

On a slightly unrelated note: Can we rename modal and non_modal to foreground and background? I find the current names very unintuitive.

Since foreground would be the case for most of the jobs, I'd suggest to create the distinction between static and interactive, where we can append background for the current non-modal jobs, i.e. we would have (current names in parentheses):

• static (modal)
• static_background (non_modal)
• interactive (interactive)
• interactive_background (interactive_non_modal)
