hi, i have been trying to let certain process working on a remote machine in this way:
nohup ./a.out >> /dev/null &
but when i log off, the process dies.
Can i code a certain process that fork itself, call setsid() and run a.out with system() or exec() ?
How can i deal with this situation? I want that the executable object a.out forget about terminal control and do its work without care about sdtin/stdout/stderr.

bye Unix friends.
