-----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 message
