The nohup ensures the builds continue while I log out of that machine and onto another. If it was only one machine and I was to do other work I could use screen. But it's in, check the logs, check root/postmaster mail, off to another machine. If I had to do other things during a build screen would also work. But I run the builds late at night when the loads are lowest. And for at least the machines that I don't visit often I get nightly emails starting about 1130PM on successful backup and bit-level verify. Then I back on my own local beastie [actually two of them] Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
