I use the Korn shell (ksh) all the time. I like it alot. However, as you
other "Korners" out there may know, nohup does NOT like ksh and will kill
your background process if you log off even if you proceed it with "nohup".

Well, to give Korn nohup capability, I've written a VERY simple, basic
shell script version of nohup for ksh... I call it knohup :)

It's available via anon-ftp on jagubox...

 the very, very top, and then it tends to slope away rather sharply."
