In short:
What is the most elegant solution to keep a perl/python/R/etc script/program running on a server (connected via ssh) when the remote server connection is closed (shell-window closed)?

In detail:
I have written some scripts that will run several days on our server. However, after connecting to the server via SSH over a linux-shell, starting the program and closing the window will also kill the program – OK, thats not new. But, how must the Server be configured to keep the program running after the ssh-connection is closed?
“screen” can be one solution, hmm but for me that to much typing and sometime I forgot to start a screen session and start the program

Thanks for your advice!

Cheers,
Yeti
