But for those cases where nohup just won't work, there's always
'detach'. Detach isn't but should be a part of every unix/linux
distribution. I got it from a usenet posting several years ago, use it
on many different unix and unix-like systems (SCO, AIX, Linux, Coherent)
where it always just works. E-mail me for sources and docs (it's small).
