And i used nohup to have my google android ‘repo sync’ (over 5gb) to run in background, even if i close the computer.
On our slow network this sync would take alot of time, so making sure that process doesnt die if i accdently close putty window or have power surge, is very comforting. :S

I use nohup in combination with the watch command to move filtered syslog files to a particular directory, but only when I need them for a little while. Rather than use a cron job I set a watch command up for x amount of seconds and run a script to pull the correct logs, filter them and submit them to an ftp or email output. using nohup I can allow this process to run even while I am not logged into my station and close it at a later time (i.e a few hours or minutes) – this is the way I use the nohup command most often.
