Yeah, that's pretty much the dilemma

I have found that I can do this ( but it's in no way a solution )

ssh into the remote server as user alpha
su to user beta
start up the application
exit out of user beta
check that the java application is still running, which it is.
logout of the remote server
ssh back into the remote server as user alpha
java application IS still running

I'm trying differnet ways of using the disown sub-shell command. Not having any luck. Part of the problem
is that the rc script does a su to run the java application as a non-root user.

Do I need to use the disown on the initial calling script or all the java processes?

If I'm understanding things correctly, the basic problem is that the ssh session creates a "tunnel" through which your X apps (including your graphical Java app) is displayed. When the ssh session goes away, so does the tunnel, and, poof, your remote X session as well.
