We have many phantoms doing various stuff in the background. We're running Universe (and previously PI/Open) and we have to do nothing special to get these phantom processes to keep running when the parent process is logged out.
All we do is the standard "PHANTOM program.id". Maybe under UniData there's a problem with the parent logging out - but not under UniVerse.

We have developed a double stage method to disconnect it from the user. Initially we write the command to launch the phantom to a file - we call ours SCRIPTS, which contains the command of the structure echo "program name " | /uv/bin/uv >./\&PH\&/name of log file in &PH&) 2>&1 & Then we have an item in the VOC which contains SH -c 'full path to the item in SCRIPTS' Our initialisation program writes the entry in SCRIPTS then executes the item in the VOC. In the past we extended this to be able to run multiple phantoms doing the same job. Improved hardware means we don't need multiples now. This was originally developed using UniData and we have since ported it to UniVerse. It works well.
