I run plan in sigle-user environment.  It happens usually in the following way:
I login, start plan, before going home start xlock, next day plan may or may 
not work.  It's still running I can see it with "ps", but no messages pops-up 
on my screen.  I did not find any particular pattern in that phenomena.  It 
can stop working in the same day without interference with xlock.
