-----Original Message----- From: Troy [mailto:freebsd@untoldfaith.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:10 AM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: disconnect and reconnect how to keep jobs running Hello, A quick question. How do I disconnect from say a ssh session and leave jobs running, then get to my house (where the machine is located) then reconnect to the session and the running jobs? Is this possible? Thanks, Troy Install from the ports tree "screen" (in /usr/ports/misc/screen) then to start a job, prepend "screen" to the command. (ex: screen tail -f /var/log/messages) To disconnect from the screen, press ctrl-a, ctrl-d To reconnect to the screen, type "screen -r" Screen has far more functionality than this, but this should be enough to get you started. Hope this helps, -Ryan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the messagehelp
