Thanks!    The above is what I have chosen for this app as it should
also let non-ROX-users run the app via AppRun. Although 'rox' as explained
by Stephen also works fine here with ROX.

I now recall reading about nohup in the past. But, typically, had forgotten
all about it.

Afraid this is an example of my tendency to forget or misunderstand things
I've not used, and then find that I can't deduce the command from what is
required.

I guess this is a common problem for those like myself who are poor at
programming, etc. Once you pointed out 'nohup' I immediately realised that
'no hangup' made sense as the correct command. But starting from knowing I
didn't want the browser to vanish with the terminal window simply didn't
lead me to that!

I guess this is a bit like having to look up words you can't spell in a
dictionary. Once you try the correct form you can find the word. Otherwise
you keep having to try incorrect forms and going 'nope, not that one!'. 


Slainte,

Jim
