This discussion is referring to a program I wrote over a decade ago that actually creates a new process group and runs the programs under it, because nohup is not always good enough. Much software does its own signal handling, and quite often implements it incorrectly so that the signals ignore by nohup are trapped and handled. The only way in the general case to ensure a program remains unaffected by terminal control signals, if you don't have the source, is to use a program like this.
