I suggest using screen. You can find it in the ports as sysutils/screen. It=
=20
will allow you to detach from a shell, then later reconnect to it. The shel=
l=20
will keep running in the meantime. It's very useful, especially if your SSH=
=20
connection is unreliable.

Another program that might be helpful is script(1).
