SSH sessions, as any other process, can be suspended, I suppose; but once you lose the connection, as in: unplug / turn off your laptop, that socket connection is gone, and gone for ever. Perhaps you need to redesign your concept. Maybe I lack imagination, but what is the use of suspending a telnet / SSH session? It seems to me that what you want is to suspend the tasks you are working on within the SSH session. That can be done using regular process management, and does not require your SSH session, to use a Windoze term, be "hybernated" or something. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
