Install screen (/usr/ports/misc/screen), and briefly read the docs. Basically, you run screen, do a ctrl-a ctrl-c to create a new screen. This makes it so you essentially have 2 sessions going on in the same terminal window, which you can switch between by hitting ctrl-a ctrl-a. Anyhoo. After you do the ctrl-a ctrl-c, go and start the process you need, like downloading huge files over ftp, then hit ctrl-a ctrl-d. This detaches the screen that you're running the process in. Go ahead and log off/disconnect, whatever, and when you log back on, you can reattach that screen by typing screen -r. Check the docs for more info. -david > Keith Ellefsen wrote: > > Hi > > How can i continue a process that i started in a telnet session, > without it stopping the process when i close my telnet session? > > thanks > David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
