Suppose i SSH into a sever and run a process.

How can I keep this process running after I log out of SSH?

i think it depends on the process

you can try adding an & after the command and that will put it in the background. I dunno if it will stay open or not when you close out of SSH

use "SCREEN"

the process will die immediately when you log out, even if you put it in the background via &

Issue a nohup command and it will run until completion regardless of whether you log out or not.



nohup process_name.ksh &

nohup ./process&

you can also use screen.

type "screen". then you will be in a shell, start the process. then type CTRL-A + D (hold down control, hit A, then release both and hit D) to detach. then you can login later and type CTRL-A + R to reattach
