All.....you can cheat this by using: screen python PlexConnect.py

lots of Linux distro's have screen built in and there's a pkg for it for unRAID.

When you detach from this screen (CTRL A + d), you will now need to use the PID to reattach to. To do this issue

#screen -ls
 

This will return something like this:

# screen -ls
There is a screen on:
	10257.pts-2.hostname	(Detached)
1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-root.

you then reattach with the PID i highlighted in red.

screen -r 10257

To make things easier, issue a 'nickname' to the screen session by doing this:

screen -S my_name_for_this_screen python PlexConnect.py

Or you can just type: screen -r to attached to the last screen session.  Only works if you have one screen session open.
