You've obviously never had to run something that's going to take hours
or days to complete on a remote server and not wanted it to abort half
way through because of a network glitch then.
Yeah, I never used nohup. *roll eyes*
That's when I use screen, either just setting running something
in the
background, or leaving it connected but knowing it will continue if
anything goes wrong and I can just reattach from a new login.
The screen manual says "Screen is a full-screen window manager that
multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically
interactive shells).".
It doesn't say "it persists in the session by default, always, that's
always how you're going to use it".
