Background applications continue to run after logout root.
Hello,
I want to have the applications continue to run even I logout the root. For example, I am downloading some applications and at that time I have to go out and I logout from gnome and I go outside for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes I came back and I login to root. Now I want my application continue downloading. So how can I do this? Please help me. |
Why logout? Use screensaver.

No screensaver
I can also use the screensaver. But screensaver doesn't set the password.
I want this for the security purpose so that no one can access my notebook. If anybody tries to access then I want my notebook to prompt the password. So, how can I set this. |
If it is an interactive terminal program you can use screen. If it is not an interactive program you can use nohup.
If it is a gui, don't log out, just lock your screen: for example "xscreensaver-command -lock". Cheers, Evo2. |
screen or tmux. You could also check nohup for something simpler.
The screensaver is another option, just configure it correctly. |
