You can find it in the ports as sysutils/screen. It will allow you to detach from a shell, then later reconnect to it. The shell will keep running in the meantime. It's very useful, especially if your SSH connection is unreliable. Another program that might be helpful is script(1). Cheers Benjamin pgpFo08UIUzvf.pgp Description: PGP signature

For several years now I have used the following to buildworld: cd /usr/src rm buildworld.errors rm -rf /usr/obj #make clean make -v cleandir; make -v cleandir date ./buildworld.time # make -j 5 buildworld ./buildworld.errors make -v buildworld ./buildworld.errors tail -n 25 /usr/src/buildworld.errors | sendmail huff I know when it started; when it ended, and I have the complete log available in case something went wrong.

How to know that make buildworld finished
Hi, For testing purposes, I am trying to build a quite old (read slow) machine. It happens that every time I start a buildworld, I will have to leave before the end. And next morning the shell I was using to run the buildworld will have terminated for some reason. So I cannot see if the make did finished successfully or not. Is there a way to check that make buildworld did finished successfully? TIA.

RE: How to know that make buildworld finished
Hi Olivier, You could create a simple 'buildworld' script that logs the date and time before and after into a simple /var/log/buildworld.log file.

I use nohup make buildworld xxx That saves the buildworld output in xxx. It does get fairly large and I seem to recall it ends by rebuilding the man indexes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so when you connect to the box run screen before you build world. Then in the morning you can reconnect to the same session after ssh'ing to the box with screen -rd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
