Hey everyone,
I really should know the answer to this one, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.
I have this program that I need to run on an Ubuntu server where I work. Its doing some serious computational work - and sometimes takes up to two or three days to complete. Whenever I execute the program from ssh, everything runs fine, but when I close my session, the server stops the process. Is there a way to force the server to continue running the job even after I close the ssh session?
Also, is there a way to have the computer notify me when the job is finished?
Right now I am doing this:
user@somebigmachine $ biglongprogram && echo "Your Job has Finished" > finished.txt
