I suspect you want the old fork/setsid/fork trick... http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/66012 That releases the controlling terminal from your job and it exits from the process group. You could probably close / redirect stdin/out/err too. Search for daemonize.py and you'll find a module which does all this. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
