er, joe, actually it doesn't.

&& does condition testing
& sends it to the background, but kills the app when term is closed.
nohup doesn't kill the app, but takes over the console, ie you can't
do anything else on that terminal

the correct syntax is prolly
    nohup ./setiathome &

alternatively you can run install and run screen, and run setiathome
in a screen terminal
