how to start a shell independent task


The idea is to run the commands in the job list, say

cp /path1/file1 /path2/file2 & 

Then when you need to log off the session you run the

exec </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null 

When leaving the session the SIGHUPs to child processes will (or should , ESX is bound to change userspace without notice) NOT be sent.
