Its great for running kernel builds, as you suggested. However what I'm really trying to achieve is to keep X apps alive when running them remotely, and be able to connect and disconnect at will and still have the app up and running, exactly where you left it. Anyone who has used Terminal Server or Citrix in a disconnected environment will know what I mean, about suspending and resuming sessions. I've been looking tentatively for info on how to do this for about a year now and so far I haven't found anything useful. Regarding my previous post, I couldn't help but poke at the comic irony of Pauls post. No agro intended, other than to poke fun and perhaps cut down on the number of noise posts. > If I understand you right, you don't want to exit the session, > because you are afraid the program you started is going to close, > too. > This can be prevented by typing an & at the end of a command > line: > # make kernel & > will go on building and installing a new kernel, though you log > out. > > Sorry, if I misinterpreted your question. > > Uli.of Pauls post.
