Method #1 just saved me a whole lot of trouble - had started a job which, if it had died would have meant a full database reload and restart. One additional finding on SUSE Linux 10.x (dont know if it applies to other flavors) ended up using 'disown -h' - the man page states that -h will keep the job in the active table ...

So just: baron@kanga:~$ nohup run_forrest_run & That said I like screen better too.

A great tip. I am always cursing when i'm doing something on a remote host and the network connection dies on me.. I always loose my work.. I've heard of screen actually.. but never got around to exploring it.. Like you said. The thing sounds intimidating and I never got around to it because i couldn't afford to get to spend time learning that thing. thanks a lot. A great tip.
