Someone really should mention 'screen' in the handbook; that venerable tool just saved my day :)
I was in the midst of 'emerge --update --newuse world' over SSH when my office had a 'temporary power failure'. Luckily, I had started a 'screen' session. When the power is restored 5 minutes later, I just re-attach the screen session, and all's well :) Rgds, -- -- Pandu E Poluan - IT Optimizer My website: http://pandu.poluan.info/
