Hi all,

I am actually new to Unix programming and this is my first question to this forum.

I have an application and i want it to run independent of the command shell.

For example, i run the application from a telnet session. But when i close my session, application is terminated. I just want it not to terminate on session termination..

Thanks,

I have used nohup with great success. Another way to do it is to use `screen` that allows you to run an application and then disconnect the virtual screen and come back to it at a later time as if you had never disconnected.

screen is handy when you want to run an interactive program and then exit the telnet session and come back to it later.

In fact, right now screen is running the Unreal Tournament 2003 Dedicated Server on my FreeBSD box at the house. screen works like a champ.

smproxy

SMPROXY(1)						      General Commands Manual							SMPROXY(1)

NAME

       smproxy - Session Manager Proxy

SYNOPSIS

       smproxy [-clientId id] [-restore saveFile]

OPTIONS

       -clientId id
	       Specifies the session ID used by smproxy in the previous session.

       -restore saveFile
	       Specifies the file used by smproxy to save state in the previous session.

DESCRIPTION

       smproxy allows X applications that do not support X11R6 session management to participate in an X11R6 session.

       In order for smproxy to act as a proxy for an X application, one of the following must be true:

       -  The application maps a top level window containing the WM_CLIENT_LEADER property.  This property provides a pointer to the client leader
       window which contains the WM_CLASS, WM_NAME, WM_COMMAND, and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE properties.

       or ...

       - The application maps a top level window which does not contain the WM_CLIENT_LEADER property.	However, this top  level  window  contains
       the WM_CLASS, WM_NAME, WM_COMMAND, and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE properties.

       An  application	that  support  the  WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol will receive a WM_SAVE_YOURSELF client message each time the session manager
       issues a checkpoint or shutdown.  This allows the application to save state.  If an application does not support the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF  pro-
       tocol,  then  the  proxy will provide enough information to the session manager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no state
       will be restored.
