bash code
 
I've noticed something, and hoped there was a work around.
when I write a simple bash script, and run it, if I close the terminal i ran the bash script inside, the bash script stops. What are the solutions for this? Basically I want to run my bash script and close the terminal, keep the bash script running.

thanks in advance

Check out the "nohup" command.

You might also want to look at the man page for bash and check out the section on 'SIGNALS' and the 'disown' command.

May be serious overkill for your purposes, but also check out 'GNU screen' and 'tmux'.

I think it was screen that i used to use for running scripts via ssh,,,, technically this should work at the terminal as well ?

Yes, and I've used it for both purposes.
