Hi,

I just read this article explaining my logout hangs with OpenSSH servers:
http://www.snailbook.com/faq/background-jobs.auto.html

I think a solution to my problem would be if nohup closed its
stdin/stdout/stderr. This would be much more comfortable than having
to redirect all input and output to /dev/null manually and it would be in
the "spirit" of nohup.

Best regards,
   Felix
