RE: Multi-user, Multi-tasking.

[Albert DE WINT <adwint pandora be>]

I have to admit, I don't understand your question.

I run day-by-day applications as a 'normal' user, never as root.
I only become root if absolutely necessary.

If I log-out as a non-privileged user, all my applications are
shut-down. Is that correct? 

Right now I'm running a number crunching application that takes a VERY
long time.  So, I want this job to continue, even when another,
non-privileged user comes in to run his tasks.  How can this be done?
