SSH and processes
 

Hi.

I realize this is probably a silly question, but how do I start a process on the local machine over ssh? I only manage to start processes for the remote user, which is bad since they are terminated once I close to ssh session.

For example, I'd like to be able to start XMMS over ssh and have it stream sounds on the local machine, or perhaps start folding@home without it terminating once i close the ssh session.

Feel free to correct me if my terminology is off.

Thank you for your time.

look at nohup, screen (detached, of course), or even just running the process in the background.
