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
