OS X run and detach script from current shell

Question

I need to launch a script that will act like a daemon from another script and will not prevent me from being able to close Terminal window.

I tried these standard solutions inside my script :

./myscript.sh arg1 arg2 &

Or this

nohup ./myscript.sh arg1 arg2 &

but they all prevent me from being able to close Terminal window I don't need any output from that subsidiary script.

Do you know a way to do that in standard UNIX shell, or if I can find some builtin commands or services on Mac to ask to run that script on my behalf.

Thanks

Answer 1

This might work:

xterm -e 'sh /path/to/script.sh' &

You may also want to include the -hold option as well.
