How do I detach a process from Terminal, entirely?

"If you are using bash, try disown [jobspec];
see bash(1).

Another approach you can try is at now.
If you're not superuser, your permission to use at may be restricted."

"Most simple and only correct answer for bash:

command & disown

You dont have to detach the process from terminal, but from the shell."

I think screen might solve your problem

"in tcsh (and maybe in other shells as well), you can use parentheses to detach the process.

Compare this:

> jobs # shows nothing
> firefox &
> jobs
[1] + Running firefox

To this:

> jobs # shows nothing
> (firefox &)
> jobs # still shows nothing
>

This removes firefox from the jobs listing, but it is still tied to the terminal; if you logged in to this node via 'ssh', trying to log out will still hang the ssh process."
