Does backgrounding a task have the same effect? That is, would:
wget -b -c http://blah.blah.com &
do as well? I didn't see anything relevent in man bash.
AIUI the task survives the loss of the ssh session, what kills it is the
next time it tries to print something it gets a nasty signal along the
lines of "don't know what you think you are printing to, but it isn't
there any more". So from this wobbly asertion of half-knowlege, I guess
if wget never prints anything again after you start it, it should
complete okay using & as you suggest.
