Run linux script without having to be logged in
 
Is is possible to start a script and then not have to be logged in with SSH?

> login to server
> ./script &
> exit

this causes the script to end, but is it possible to still allow the script to continue even if the user has logged out?

Code:
$ nohup ./script &
cheers,

Another useful command is disown (available in many shells). It is useful when you start command first and think about leaving it running after logout second.

Code:
./script
[Ctrl-Z]
bg
disown
exit

Or you may find the "at" command useful

Yeah I thought about using the at command, although it would require me to set a time and sit there to see if it works.

the nohup command worked perfectly thanks :)
