The nohup'll get you basically what you want (especially if you pipe
everything, including stderr, to a file, and check that later), but I
agree with James above on trying VNC. It rules...I use it every
day. (Now, in fact!) It'll do EXACTLY what you want to do. And you
haven't lived until you've run the VNC client on your Palm, and
checked on a running process! (OK...I admit, I connected via serial,
so I was sitting next to the machine anyway. But it was still too
freakin' cool.)
