Nohup is good, and &, and disconnecting the user so they cannot generate other signals that still go to the child processes. I used to lose my X windows manager mwm because I hit ctrl-C (intr, SIGINT) on my keyboard to stop an interactive process on the same xterm I launched 'nohup mwm &' from!

OPTIONS
In addition to the standard X Toolkit command line options (see X(1)), mwm accepts the following options:
-xrm resourcestring
Set resource
-display display
Specifies display to be used
-debug
Enable debugging. This includes synchronous sending of requests to the X server.
-multiscreen
Use multiple screens.
-name name
Make mwm retrieve its resources using the given name
-screens [name [name [...]]
Manage multiple screens. Not yet supported
-version

X Resources
mwm supports a number of resources. It departs from the Motif mwm specification in that all window decorations have separate resources.
The resources are documented in the app defaults file for mwm, /etc/X11/app-defaults/Mwm.
COPYING
See the file COPYING which accompanies this distribution of mwm.
