Detaching process from console

Source

 You've to detach your process from the konsole process, so that it isn't terminated when konsole is.

 I know two ways to do this (probably there are more):

 Method 1:
 - start the process from the konsole
 - put it the background with Ctrl-Z and 'bg 1'.
 - tell the shell to detach the process with the command 'disown -a'

 Method 2:
 - start the process with nohup (ie. write the command 'nohup processname' instead of  'processname'. See 'man nohup' for an explanation.
