How to run mprime on remote machine in background
Help requested for *nix-ignorant me:
I normally run mprime on a few idle cores of my server (CentOS 8). Thus far been running mprime -d in a SSH window and it all works nicely. Until my home internet connection gets disrupted (and it's been unreliable recently) in which case the SSH session gets disconnected and mprime stops running (at least after a few minutes). Is there a way to start mprime and let it run in the background without needing to maintain a constant connection to the server, but be able to bring up the current status when I want to see what it's doing? |

A couple of options might be:
Add this to your remote crontab @reboot /path/to/mprime/mprime &. You might like to investigate the screen command. Or prepend nohup to your mprime command. Last fiddled with by paulunderwood on 2021-10-25 at 21:46 |

Using screen is dead simple:
screen ./mprime -d If session is disconnected (by accident, or on purpose with ctrl-a ctrl-d), it continues to run. Any other terminal window can reconnect to the session with "screen -r" to resume the session display. |

I second the use of screen or tmux, with which will run the same as VBCurtis with screen.
For tmux, the invocation and keys are a little different, but it works the same. I only use tmux rather than screen because that's what I started out with prior to learning about screen. |
