Not quite clear on your question, but I'll take a stab. If you run a program in a terminal, it generally exits when the terminal exits because it's "attached" to the terminal. If, however, you run a command with an "&" suffixed, the process is detached from the terminal process, and thus won't exit when the terminal exits. So, for example, run something like this:
pd --no-gui --jack &
You'll notice then that once Pd has started running, you can get a prompt back by pressing enter.

Hey Linux gurus...
I'm doing an installation this weekend where I'd really like to set up my Linux box and use ssh from my laptop to get a pd patch running, then unhook the laptop, leaving the patch running, go home and come back later to make adjustments or shut it down for the night.
Thing is, I can't figure out how to disconnect without killing the applications I'm running. Is this possible? Does anybody have suggestions?
Thanks
cheers dafydd
