RE: command to keep job running after logout?

[Mike McNally]

You can spin it off with 

   nohup yourcommand &

I personally always keep handy a little "detach" program that 
effectively does the same thing, while also severing your 
standard IO connections and dropping your control TTY. Here's
the source:

#include <types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <ioctls.h>

main(int ac, char **av) {
        int i;
        for (i = 0; close(i) == 0; ++i);
        i = open("/dev/tty", O_RDONLY);
        ioctl(i, TIOCNOTTY, (int *) 0);
        close(i);
        open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY);
        open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY);
        open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY);
        if (fork() == 0)
                execvp(av[1], av + 1);
}


Then you can just say

  detach yourprogram
