Depending upon the shell settings this process may still die with the
shell connects.  It will recieve the HUP (Hangup) signal.  There are
shell options that may prohibit the delivering of this shell.  If you
want to guarantee it will continue use hohup(1).  Usefully nohup will
also deal with the capturing of output.  

I think screen(1) is a better way to got tho.
