When I start something from the gnome-terminal, then exit the
terminal, that something also exits. How can I prevent that from
happening?

For example:
Open the gnome-terminal
Type something like
$ SomeApp --SomeParameter=Something &
$ exit

What happens is that when exiting the gnome-terminal, �SomeApp� is
also terminated. I need to know how to start something from the
gnome-terminal that is not �connected� to the terminal at all.
Any ideas?


Kind regards

The traditional way to do it is to pass it as an argument to nohup
(for 'no hangup'):

nohup SomeApp --SomeParameter=Something &

this will also redirect all output to a file (nohup.out by default).

An alternative may also be to install "screen". This gives the option
of detaching and also reattaching to a screen session.
See some example usage here:

As has been noted, screen is a good candidate for this.

Also there is tmux &, best of all in my opinion, byobu.

Cheers,

byobu uses tmux (by default, at least on ubuserver) or screen as a backend.

Thank you all for replying. I am sure that solved my problem, although
I didn't test anything yet. Waiting for an application to crash first…
(which I guess won't take very long since most things crash now and
then since I installed Ubuntu 12.04; my crappy nVidia graphics card
driver is probably the reason for that) :P
