usening an & does mean the command runs in backround - correct, but it
is not detached from the terminal. this means the script is a child of
the terminal - so when the terminal exits for any reason - its childs
will get the kill signal. thats why there are daemons, after startup,
they are no longer connected to their startup terminal.
