I’m working on a Linux machine through SSH (Putty). I need to leave a process running during the night, so I thought I could do that by starting the process in background (with an ampersand at the end of the command) and redirecting stdout to a file.
To my surprise, that doesn’t work. As soon as I close the Putty window, the process is stopped.
How can I prevent that from happening??
Check out the ‘nohup‘ program.
