sssh: how to keep service going when closing consol?

AZaraT · 12-12-2006, 12:50 PM

Okay...

What I wonna do, is to remote start a server, with SSH, but the only problem is, that when I close the consol on the remote computer, it allso close the server. I know there is a way to keep the server up when the consol is closed, but I can't remember it.

Hope anyone can help me

I'm glad to tell people about 'screen' it is a very useful program that I use on a daily basis and I'm not sure how I managed before I discovered it (wait yes I do; I had 5 monitors on my desk.)

you might just have to put the & symbol after the command.

eg.

command &

this will run the command as a daemon

this way also migh work

ssh -f your host command port whatever follow by command sleep 365d

this will bring the work progress to background
