Background Job stops when closing shell
 
greetings.

I am trying to force a process to run in background. I have tried the following options

1) /path/command &
2) /path/command ( press CTRL + Z , type bg )

However, the job remains assigned to the current shell ( ie, the shell which started the process ). When I close/disconnect the shell, the background process stops immediatly.

How can I prevent this please?

Reagrds,

drg

Nohup is preventing that:
Code:
nohup /path/command </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
