In a similar vein, nohup lets you send tasks to the background and seems to be everywhere.

You can't mention nohup without at least mentioning kill -9 or pkill to slay the monster you created you madman

Eyyy, don't hate, this is how I start all my work programs. That command is really nice and creates all work programs as children of a single terminal session for easy closing later.

No hate! Just need to make sure people know so they don't create a bazillion threads without realizing it, or how to stop them effectively
