Hi all, Quick question on shell commands.
I understand that to background a shell command, you need to end the command with & I also get that if you have a command running, pressing Ctrl and Z suspends it, then typing bg puts it into the background (fg bringing it forward again). When I run this command on a remote server however 'scp -r foldername [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/foldername' and background it (either by starting it with &, or suspending then bg'ing it) and then close the terminal, when I then log back in again, the process has stopped without completing. What's happening there? Is the command associated with the terminal that invoked it? If so how to I get the command to run even after I've logged out? Thanks in advance ;-) Chris -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
