Not normally. However, when performing remote maintenance operations, the 'screen' command is your friend. You can run multiple terminal sessions from a single login, disconnect (intentionally or accidentally), and reconnect (even from another computer at another location). The man page has all the info, but here's all you need:
1- Login as normal (via ssh, or even with a local terminal session)
2- Issue the command: screen
3- You now have what appears to be a normal session, but notice the titlebar has changed
4- To add an addition session: ctrl-a,c (ctrl-a followed by hitting the letter 'c')
5- To end a session, exit as you normally would. You will drop back to other sessions, until you finally exit screen.
6- To switch sessions: ctrl-a,number (where number is the session - for example ctrl-a,1 or ctrl-a,2)
7- To disconnect: ctrl-a,d
8- To reconnect to a disconnected screen: screen -r (if there are multiple disconnected screens, you will be presented with a list).
OK, well, I will find out soon if anything came of it. I had dropped the connection while in the middle of the update. The console is totally dead, no keyboard, mouse, or video, but ssh works fine. Happened in the middle of update through the gui.
