| 335486 | 2005-03-18 19:32:00 | Hey, I was wondering, is there a way to start a process on my PC via SSH, and have it keep going even if the ssh session is closed, and then be able to go back to that session from a different PC. The reason I ask, is if I was doing an emerge -u world, which would obviously take a relatively long time, I may need to leave the place I started the session and shut that PC down.... Is this possible? Ash |

| 335487 | 2005-03-18 20:07:00 | Yes it is possible by using screen. First emerge screen. When you want to leave something running, run "screen" to detache the screen, press ctrl-a then ctrl-d. to return to the screen, just type "screen -r". man screen for more information. |
