Hi... Lets assume that i must ssh to a remote machine so i can finish my work, I want the ssh execute the command in such way that continues executing if i exit the ssh... then after some hours i want to log in again and view that the process is finished..
How i can start some processes over ssh without being killed when i exit the session?

use "screen"

Or you could use nohup <command>

Thx ...the screen does not exist by default to the most systems so i have tried the nohup command

I connect using ssh and i have entered a kernel recompile job using the nohup
nohup make dep &
It started succesfulyy but when i ran the exit so to return back to my pc the session didn't end up immediately but as i have noticed ssh was waiting for the nohup make dep & command to finish execution why is that? I want to terminate the ssh session and when i relogin back to see the processes stil running
