How do you keep tasks running after you sign out of you ssh session in Linux redhat 7.2? Anyone know?

Thanks
Aaron

nohup <insert command here> &

e.g.
nohup ping -t www.yahoo.com &

I did that, and it took forever sayin it was adding it to nohub.out, and it never did it so i Ctrl + C'd it...

*nohup

Did you use the "&" symbol after it?

ya i sure did

Install screen. Then you just run screen -d -m filename .
If your connection gets interrupted you just login again and type screen -r to resume the screen. If the screen is detached check the pid and type screen -r pidofthescreen

just add & to the end, ie for a hl game server:

./hlds_run -game blah -blah -blah &

will start it, then ctrl + d, then close down the ssh window of secure crt or just disconnect, that should work.

aaaaaaaaaaah... this is the best post I have read in a while :D

so the command is basically

'screen -d -m filename .'


where filename can be 'installphp'... right? whats the last '.' for?


*can hear yells in his head.. "RTFM!! RTFM!!"* hehe

the '.' is the end of his sentence.
