Just a thought, you can use the screen utility depending on what you are trying to do. For example if you want to start a job, long out of the machine completely, and then return to your job to see how it's running, you may choose to run screen. > screen bash (Press Control-A then d) (Logout from shell) (Log back in) > screen -r Hope this sheds some light.
