RE: nohup

[Big Mike <MikeC@example.com>]

I use bash2's disown to start X. 

startx > .xsession-errors 2>&1 &
sleep 1
disown %1
nohup %1
rm nohup.out
exit 

Also, not any of the default installs, but included with some Redhat
distributions is a *great* program called screen. This is from the
description in the man page:

       Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes  a
       physical  terminal  between  several  processes (typically
       interactive shells).  Each virtual terminal  provides  the
       functions  of  a DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, sev-
       eral control functions from the ISO 6492  (ECMA  48,  ANSI
       X3.64) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g. insert/delete line and
       support for multiple character sets).  There is a  scroll-
       back  history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-
       and-paste  mechanism  that  allows  moving  text   regions
       between windows.

bash2 has disown, too.
