 If you use OEM, you can set up your observer with it.

The benefit of this method is that it keeps an eye on the observer and
should the observer go offline for any reason, it starts an 'alternate'
observer on a different host. Thus if the server housing the observer were
to crash, you'd still be covered.

The downside of course is that it requires OEM. :)

I've run it via a nohup and via OEM and haven't had issues with either. But,
if there are other ways, I'd definitely be interested in hearing about them.
