I do not know much about your actual problem (and hope others will), but I'd like to share my habbit of doing such things from inside a 'screen' session ran by root. This way, even if sshd etc. is killed (should not - recent versions leave their children running on restart) you still have the session, or there is a network problem and you have to ssh again, etc., unless 'screen' is killed, but that's rather unlikely, because it's not a "daemon" in the classical meaning, and upgrade scripts etc generally do not care about running instances. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
