SSH: How to run console/command in remote server's memory?

Vince-0 · 03-09-2008, 09:14 AM

Hello!

I need to be able to run a command on a remote server through ssh and somehow resume it (or the remote console) should the ssh session be disconnected. Is there a way to execute, say a script, remotely from the command line and keep it in the remote servers' memory in case of connection failure? Maybe a command option or something?

I can't figure out how, please help!
Whoot to who ever gets an answer, cos my nab skills couldn't

Look into GNU Screen. It'll keep running in the background should your SSH connection die. It also has a number of other excellent features.
