nohup no help when terminal window goes down

[scripting]

I thought that if I run an app detached using nohup, that if I quit the terminal window, or my desktop system powers off, the app would continue to run. It doesn't.

See previous thread for background.

The actual command I use is this:

nohup node myapp.js &

@scripting I've had to use a combination of nohup and disown sometimes. Difference between nohup, disown and &

So:

nohup node myapp.js &
disown -a

[scripting]

Thanks @danmactough -- I'll give it a try. ;-)
