I've play a bit with screen but I don't think it will work for my
problem so let me restate it. Lets say I wanted to buildworld, build a
port, cvsup, portupgrade, etc. but forgot to do it before I left for
school, work, or wherever so I ssh into my box and do #foobar& etc. and
then exit, then when I get back home I want to see what happened. I
guess it just goes to show that there's always a solution to a problem,
you just have to look at it from another angle (can you thing of any
other solutions btw?):
