Actually the new top comment blew me away. I'm in the 20 year veteran category and was also oblivious. Quoted:

disown - bash built in.

You know how you always start that mega long rsync in an ssh session from your laptop and then realize you have to go offline halfway through? You forgot to start it in screen or nohup, didn't you? You can pause it (ctrl+z), background it (bg), and then disown it so it is protected from SIGHUP when you quit your ssh session. Bash (and, to be fair, zsh and others have copied much of this) has some wonderful job control features most people are completely oblivious of - even veterans of 20 years.
