Dana,
 
From the UniData 5 UniData Commands manual:
 
PHANTOM
...
Warning: Background processes you create are independent of your process. They
will survive as phantom processes even if you terminate your process (by logging out
of the system for instance). Since UniData stores the output from phantom processes
in _PH_, this can create a large _PH_ file.
...
 
You can (and I do) routinely end the invoking session and leave the phantom to do its thing.

Greetings,

Looking for some advice with Phantoms (seems to be a theme lately). I have a
udt program that I want to have always running (infinite loop). I want to
start this as a background process using PHANTOM. Pretty straight forward so
far. How can I do this so the process keeps running even after I log out the
process that started it?

Unidata 5.2;   Tru64 Unix 5.1A

Thanks for any help
