How to Keep Tasks Running When You Quit SSH

It would seem that bash has a slightly different way of marking a program as "nohup". Specifically, you must "disown" the task. You've got a few options for doing that:

1) Just make sure it doesn't get a SIGHUP: % disown -h {jobid}; where jobid is the number in your process list
2) Completely detach the process from your shell, (it no longer shows up in your job listing):: % disown {jobid}
3) Detach *every* process in your job list: % disown -a

There are some others - see 'man bash' for the details.
