Bummer. Amusing message, though.

Ahh - I see, I can see how that could be useful - a bit like nohup:)

screen and nohup

Kind of like nohup on steroids, yes.

(The most striking difference is that it works with interactive and even full-screen programs. Then, of course, there's the multiple windows bit which can come in handy.)

I confused myself by trying to run a daemon through nohup the other week, but then draxil came round, installed it into init.d/ and showed me how to start and stop daemons properly:) It's weird how sometime in Linux I use Windows key commands (usually it's ctrl-z for undo - which used to cause me untold frustration when it would suspend my programs - but then some more advice from draxil was to just type "fg %1") and then in windows I use emacs key commands:P
