bash - Exit zsh, but leave running jobs open?

Question

Just switched from bash to zsh.

In bash, background tasks continue running when the shell exits. For example here, dolphin continues running after the exit:

$ dolphin .
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 dolphin .
$ bg
[1]+ dolphin . &
$ exit

This is what I want as the default behavior.

In contrast, zsh's behavior is to warn about running jobs on exit, then close them if you exit again. For example here, dolphin is closed when the second exit-command actually exits the shell:

 % dolphin .
^Z
zsh: suspended  dolphin .
 % bg
[1]  + continued  dolphin .
 % exit
zsh: you have running jobs.
 % exit 

How do I make zsh's default behavior here like bash's?

Answer 1

Start the program with &!:

dolphin &!

The &! (or equivalently, &|) is a zsh-specific shortcut to both background and disown the process, such that exiting the shell will leave it running.
