Yeah... Not an especially nice place to be to be honest -- some background btw: some silly [often KDE] programs detach themselves from the terminal they were launched in and then get upset when they get a SIGHUP hence the nohup. Anoyingly this left nohup.out files everywhere around the system (which can't be turned off). Interestingly these same programs which die from SIGHUP don't get offended when you take away their stdout (as far as I can tell) so I need to trick nohup into putting the stdout onto the terminal (hence the cat)... Sigh...
