Hey everybody
Thanks for your responses. I've decided to try screen first, as it seems simplest, and it seems to do what I need.
I'm encountering some difficulties, though...
From an X11 on my laptop:
ssh -Y to the linux desktop
then: xterm screen qjackctl & pd &
ctl-a d disconnects fine - I can close the xterm window within the ssh session. However, pd stays active on the screen of my laptop. I can't log out from the session without first stopping pd, nor can I exit X11 on the mac laptop without killing the programs I've started.
Am I missing something important here?
cheers dafydd

I did this with both nohup and screen to have Pd running without GUI on a remote web and streaming server. Nohup is installed everywhere. You just need to take care that you send the nohup command into the background as well like:
$ nohup /usr/bin/pd patch.pd & $ exit
Screen sometimes may be missing and you need to install it first. Still screen is way more comfortable in the long run, as you don't need to search for the Pd processes PID if you want to kill it etc. Screen is just a terminal that never dies.
Just start a screen with:
$ screen (screen)$ pd patch.pd <press "Ctrl-a d" now> $ exit
Pd will keep on running then. To reconnect just do:
$ screen -rd (screen)$ <pd is still running here> (screen)$ Ctrl-c pd: exiting
I use screen for everything else as well: there's a "screen" with 10 windows running of every machine I own. ;)
Ciao
