OK, to remove all this mess, I'll tell you what I do to make things work
(and they _work_):
- If you want to start - say setiathome - to run after you logged out,
then you issue:
# nohup ./setiathome &
- Some gotchas:
1.) If you run this command in an Xterm, then it will be killed on
logout. Use the text console or rlogin to localhost to fix that:
# rlogin localhost
Password: ...
# nohup ./setiathome &
nohup: directing output to nohup.out
# exit
rlogin: connection closed.
2.) Always give the full path of the command to be executed, as saying
setiathome instead of ./setiathome will not work (at least for me).
