    Assuming you want the job to continue running after you log out,
    I would use the nohup command to protect it from the hangup sent
    to you processes when you log out, and give it another level
    of separation from your login shell with ( )

    e.g. ( nohup run &)&

    This can even be useful in system startup scripts for processes
    you want started at boot time, but do not understand what
    being a daemon is about, so do not fork and separate themself
    from the boot process.
