Also you might not even need the 'nohup' here because effectively the command is running in it's own 'forked' environment (though I may be wrong:). Have a play, try starting something less volatile than portupgrade (sleep 100 for example?), logging out, logging back in and seeing if it's still running. Good luck, Jez
