The problem with nohup is that it requires some forethought in that you start
the program with it. If you've already started the program (without nohup) and
it still hasn't finished by the time you need to logout, use disown (only with
bash). Disown will make the owner of the process init instead of the shell you
started it in.

Computer programmers never die, they just get lost in the processing.
