Keeping an app alive
Hello,
<the short version>
How do I keep an application started in an SSH session alive after I close the SSH connection?
<the long version>
I have a LAN server that runs Steam dedicated server. I ssh in to start the server, however, should the ssh client on my desktop close for any reason, the server goes down. Is there a way to start an application (on another TTY?) so that I can close the ssh session and keep the application running?
Thank you for your time.

Re: Keeping an app alive
setsid will do the job too and it's smaller than nohup.
