   At least in some situations I can see a point in being able to start   
   background processes or daemons which stays around after logout. A simple   
   example would be system processes like ntpd, httpd or ftpd which you for   
   some reason might need to restart on a remote machine.   
      
   Doing ssh to such a remote machine and then su to root to run something   
   like "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart" you would not want apache to get killed   
   once you logout from the ssh session.   
      
   There is a command called nohup which I have never used because the   
   functionality of nohup is built into tcsh which I use for my shell. One   
   of the intentions of nohup is to be able to leave background processes   
   after logging out.
