[NTLUG:Discuss] slightly off topic, but still a *nix...

[Fred James]

The problem is to start a process and have it continue to completion 
even after I quit my session.

I have been able to do this on some *nix systems with nohup and &, but 
here I am on Solaris8 and all child processes die when I end my session.

Any ideas?

Please don't suggest cron, it is not allowed in this case even though it 
would be the perfect answer and I do have access to crontab.
