Thanks a lot for all those replied.
I have tried nohup before:
in bash, I input
nohup ./program -option &
and it seems ok when I use "ps -a" and find it is runing happily there.
Then I logout.
But when I login to the system again, and use "ps -a" there, I could not
find the program. What have I done wrong?
Thanks a lot.
