 |
|
I haven't had SSH running on my boxes for a while due to some dumb people's threats but now I've got it going again and I was wondering about something that bothered me before when I used it a lot.
Is there anyway to log in, issue a command (such as emerging something) then log out without it terminating?

You just need to close stdin and stdout:
| Code: | | command &>/dev/null </dev/null & |
and you can logout. |

++, screen is serious cool.
The old-timey way is to use nohup and place it in the background. You cannot reconnect to it, and need to redirect your output streams. |
