ssh and process?

[vksingh]

Hi,

I have a small confusion. When I do ssh to my server from my machine and start a download with the following command:

$ wget xyz

Then if I close my ssh window, will the process of wget run? If not, How should I run a process in server in background so that even I close the shell, Process still runs.

Thanks,

Vivek

Use screen (man screen) or nohup (e.g. nohup wget abc &)
