When connecting to a server, is there a way to keep the SSH console open once disconnected? Or is there a program that does that, and that lets me connect back into where I left?
This situation can happen for instance if I start a simple manual backup using cp from towards that takes +1h. I may not be able to wait and have to close the connection, but I still want my command to finish and I may even login later and check the result message.
My current method achieving this, is to login to the a desktop installed on server using VNC. Open terminals remain open and I can let them run something, log off, and come back later and just continue where I where I stopped.
Is that possible within the command line so that I am not dependent on the remote desktop?
