Terminal to run after I log out

[lazicsavo]

Hi,

I'm using my OpenSSH to access Linux from my Mac. I open the terminal (on the Mac) connect to the Linux platfrom and start up the necessary program/analysis.

The problem is that if I turn of the Terminal the program shuts down on the Linux. The Terminal automatically shuts down after I log off (there are many users on the computer(.

Is there a way to keep the terminal running even after I log out?

Thanks for any input.

nohup prog &

where prog is the name of the application you want to keep running after logout

If you are running the program(s) on a shared system be sure to nice your program!

If you need to reattach to the program later, to see what the output was, you could use screen.
