[sclug] Leave a process running after logging out?

[Sapan Ganguly]

Hello, I haven't posted here for a long time.  I have a question which
probably has a simple answer.

I am forever starting commands in a bash shell that take longer than I
expect, is there a way to background or pause a task that is already
in the foreground AND log off and go home (but still see the results
when I log on again in the morning)?  Sometimes I forget to use things
like 'screen', 'nohup' etc.  If I use Ctrl-Z the process is still
killed when I log off.

Oh, another question, would 'nohup' stop a process being killed even
if I log out of my shell?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sapan
