It is still reading input from the terminal connection it inherited
and will send output and errors there. You need to redirect
stdin, stdout, and stderr from/to appropriate places if you
don't want that.  You might also want to run it with
'nohup' so that signals are ignored and it keeps running
if you disconnect.
