     Yes, nohup. I guess it issues setsid() and disconnects from the 
controlling terminal, but any process can do that on its own. I was 
thinking of a way to decide which session can do that and which cannot, 
and I imagine it is only possible by running the session in a container 
(I don't know in detail how containers work), which is AFAIU what 
systemd does, but might be done by KISS means.
