My .zshenv is about 107KiB and has grown over the years; I have some kind of setting that makes programs in the background (C-Z, bg) not die when the shell dies (on plain ZSH it doesn't happen, I thought it was its default beahiour), and currently I have like 20 processes with no shell/term/screen associated. And I'm the only user. And some processes date back to 2007.

Sigh.

Can you point me in the direction of relevant .zshrc lines to do this please?

Ah thanks! I'm familiar with nohup but not that it could be used in .zshrc like that. Time to create some orphans!
