FLAME ON:
Learn to accept, Kevin, that you are as likely as anyone
to be wrong at every turn. From the csh(1) manpage of
SunOS 4.1:
nohup [ command ]
Run command with HUPs ignored. With no arguments,
ignore HUPs throughout the remainder of a script.
When given, command is always run in a subshell,
and the restrictions placed on commands in simple
if commands apply. All processes detached with &
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
are effectively nohup'd.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
notify [ %job ] ...
Notify the user asynchronously when the status of
the current, or of specified jobs, changes.
Sun Release 4.1 Last change: 2 October 1989 19
