You should run things like this with nohup, which ensures the parent does not kill the child if it dies/is killed, and redirects all output to the nohup.out file.

I had a problem with my wm getting killed by ctrl-c int on my xterm, the parent. One solution was to kill the parent and let the nohup wm keep running.

The wm, xterm and any x apps will die if the x server is not connected. I use a local Xvnc x service so if I disconnect, all my x is still running on that host. I do this for every host. Keystrokes and clicks are precious, so do not waste.

NOHUP(1)                                                           User Commands                                                          NOHUP(1)

NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]... nohup OPTION DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals. --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use 'nohup COMMAND > FILE'. NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc- umentation for details about the options it supports. AUTHOR
