Right, my mistake. Still, the parent script will exit sucessfuly, and then how can the backgrounded process be controlled, other than by killing it with kill -TERM or something like that?
you *want* then redirected somewhere else, you are free to do so with standard redirection operations before the ampersand.
I don't want redirection. Multilog will grasp stdout, but only of the parent process (I think); once the latter exits, I don't think the other process will be accessible.
