I would suggest you learn screen - a very simple app that allows you to start an app and then disconnect from it. You can then log out, close your terminal, or in your case if konsole really crashed, you just open a new konsole and reconnect. The screen process keeps all the terminal output so you can review it while the process is running or after it has finished. I do not know how to reliably get access to your process if it's really still running. Someone else here can probably give you better instructions on that. HTH, Mark
