[SOLVED] Active Session Process

[simonarame]

Hi,

I connected to fc14 with ssh and started a java console program with "&" at the end of the line so that the program runs in background.

If i disconnect from my ssh session, will the java program process be terminated or will it keep going til it terminates itself ?

Thanks

Since the process runs in the background anyway, you can use disown command before logging out. This will make sure that the process run in the background after you logout.

Now, I am not 100% sure of the solution - use your best judgement!

The "disown" command will prevent an already-running job from being sent a HUP signal when you log out (this is what normally causes it to exit).

To start a new command that way, you can use "nohup command > output.txt &" – nohup will prevent the HUP signal for new commands.
