Thanks a lot but in my situation : 1. nohup seems not to be installed on my "reduced linux distribution". It's a OpenWrt tunning on my WRT54GL Broadband router. 2. I have looked for the way I can "detach the screen" with Putty but I've not found (May be you can precise ?) 3. The "fork daemon" script found on http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731 seems to be as huge as my own script and little bit hard to undestand. So maybe "detach the screen" ?
