Hiya,
Recently I've run a few scripts in the foreground, but have realised later they should of been better nohup'd and placed in the background. I understand how to change a foreground job into a background one, but how would put the job into the nohup state?

SYNOPSIS
cddb-tool parse file [-i|-d|-a|-t] [num|-c|-p]

cddb-tool send [file] address
cddb-tool query server user host disc-id tracks

cddb-tool help
DESCRIPTION
cddb-tool is a backend tool for abcde. It is passed information from cd-discid and uses it look up the CD title, artist, and track informa-
tion on the cddb database (http://freedb.freedb.org) on the internet.
COMMANDS
parse [file] option
Get data out of a cddb file (use "-" for stdin). Options (use one and only one):
id prints disc id
album prints album title
track num
prints title of track num
artist prints artist
category
prints category
cddbgenre
synonym for category
all parse file and dumps to stdout in a form sourceable by the shell
send [file] address
Mails file file (or stdin of no file specified) to specified address, using correct format. Category should be one of blues, classical,
country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc.
template [disc-id] [tracks]
Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout. The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid.
query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]
Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by
the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identify-
ing ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.
read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]
Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by
parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identi-
fying ourselves to the CDDB server.
