Hi,

thanks for the answer

man nohup

       NOTE:  your  shell may have its own version of nohup, which
usually supersedes the version described
       here.  Please refer to your shell's documentation for details
about the options it supports.

can you tell me of a more robust/elegant way of doing it?

But zsh is supposed to emulate ksh, right?

nohup whatever should work regardless of shell. And it _did_ in the
older version of zsh, now not anymore. Can you tell me why?

the "solution" for now is to launch the simulation with ksh... or
resort to screen... but it's a pity, I stick to zsh a lot

Cheers,
