You should be able to trap sighup using the shell's builtin trap command �
la:
trap "" SIGHUP
You must do this before you start other processes. You'll probably also
want to trap the terminal signals too...

You can use the nohup command to specify that a particular process should
ignore the SIGHUP signal, but you must do this BEFORE starting the
process.
