I am actually seeing this behaviour if I start a process using nohup on
the server, with all output redirected to files. Surely then, ssh should
exit cleanly? (but it doesn't). I've never been sure if this is a bug.
Check out the "screen" command. I use that for my game servers. A typical
invocation:
screen -dmS my-game-server script-to-start-game
This creates a detached screen session named "my-game-server" running the
script "script-to-start-game". You can reattach to it later to view any
output. I put this in an initscript so that the game servers start at boot
time.
