I'm currently launching the process using nohup but occasionally after logging out and back in again the process is gone. Something is reaping it. I don't need it to survive a reboot (so I think launchd might be overkill here), but I would like it to persist as long as the machine is up and running, whether I'm logged in or not.

Check out Lingon. It is a very easy to use GUI with which you can edit and create launchd configuration files.

This makes the barrier to launchd entry low enough to use for this case. Thanks. – Ian C. Nov 10 '10 at 16:53

screen? You can log out, and the screen sessions continue running. Although they shouldn't count on your FileVault home directory being mounted, if you use that feature.
