Thus spake Zenaan Harkness: # The thing with this is that it terminates the backgrounded process. # # Eg: # # > ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # # run a long-running process, background it: # # apt-move mirror # # <CTRL-Z> # # bg # # # disconnect ssh: # # ~. # # All looks fine, except I go back in and check: # > ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # ps aux|grep apt # # and I get no output/ processes - and the CPU should be maxed out but # it's on zero; I'm guessing the process must have been killed.
Try running it through screen instead: > ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # run a long-running process in screen and detach it: # screen apt-move mirror # <CTRL-A>DD The <CTRL-A>DD will detach the screen terminal and all its running processes and automatically disconnect your ssh session. if you go back and look for the process you will still find it running. You may, however need to grep for screen, although apt should still show it. You will also notice that the CPU will be maxed as expected. Once the process finishes, screen will automatically terminate, so there is no need to go back in and terminate it manually. HTH, PRINCE
