Sure, this is not a solution this time. But maybe it is a solution for the next time: $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome to remotehost $ screen $ long_task When you press C-a C-d now, you detach yourself from your screen session, which means that long_task will continue to run using a virtual terminal simulated by screen. Log out, go for lunch. When you return, you can rejoin your previously opened screen session: $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome to remotehost $ screen -x And zap! You are exactly where you came from before you detached from your old session. And this is just a little bit of what screen can do for you. I found it to be very useful and quite addictive.
