> How can i run a program from telnet and when i logoff it keeps running??
Fork it with "&"
Like: "myprogram &" or "./myprogram &"
Be careful with what you background.
If you mean like, "How do I leave my BitchX session running" or "How do I
let my napster client continue without me," Then that's different.. scroll
down to the end of this message.
> How can i see if the program is still runing?
ps. I like to use "ps aux", but you prolly don't need to see everything on
the box unless you also admin the thing. However, this gives memory and
CPU usage info which helps to find runaway processes.
If you happen to admin the box in question.. I advise you NOT to allow remote
process list viewing. It's a *major* security "no-no."
> How can i see what is the program is doing at any time from telnel or local?
You mean foreground the process? It's all in what you've got backgrounded.
A program like BitchX (which is one of the only things that you'll
really want to do this with in a remote sense as a regular user) has code
to detach the process from the terminal using "/detach" and allows you to
reattach it with the "scr-bx" command.
Other things like yer napster client or your gnucash session, or
whatever.. shouldn't be running without you anyway.. ok.. so a napster
client can.. but anything else is dumb.
If the screen program is installed on the box, then you can read into its
use by doing a "man screen"
screen allows process detachment, etc... or that was last I knew :)
I hope some of this helps.
