Thanks a lot but in my situation :

1. nohup seems not to be installed on my "reduced linux distribution".
It's a OpenWrt tunning on my WRT54GL Broadband router.

2. I have looked for the way I can "detach the screen" with Putty but
I've not found (May be you can precise ?)

3. The "fork daemon" script found on http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/278731
seems to be as huge as my own script and little bit hard to undestand.

So maybe "detach the screen" ?

Thanks
