how about this: use screen as your login shell
That works until you accidently ssh in and are having to hit ctrl-a, a, a, d in order to log out -- and the number of ctrl-a and a keys just gets longer and longer the more boxes you move through. I have found putting "screen -ls" in some interactive part of your shell start up does a pretty good job of reminding me to start screen and letting me know which screens are already running. It is also a good idea to name your screen sessions if you are going to do that. If it is just one, long-running, non-interactive command you want to run, using nohup might be good enough for most situations. -- Signed, Jason Watson
