I would like to SSH into a box with say my laptop, setup some tasks, run some programs, suspend the connection, unplug and turn off my laptop, and then come back to the same session a few days later, perhaps using a different computer. I would also like to be able to do this with XDMCP / remote X. and yes I do rtfm, do u read questions or do u just answer them :) -> ouch! Seriously, I'm not trying to start a flame, I 'm just looking for some answers, I've been looking at this for a while now but there does not seem to be any info available on how this is achieved. As Dan suggested, I'm going to look at screen, which looks quite promising. Any other legitimate info / advice would also be appreciated. On Sat, 2002-12-21 at 20:34, Paul A.
