I agree on choosing a terminal multiplexer. The screen looks great and Tmux provides another option with more customization, though they serve similar purposes. The advantage of these tools is you can quickly switch between sessions and view all standard outputs from running processes. With several instances, you can set up multiple virtual windows and panels, making it very flexible. They keep the background tasks alive when you disconnect. I even run Tmux both through SSH and within my main terminal window, which helps avoid process termination if the terminal is accidentally closed or crashes.
Begin a tmux session on the Linux machine to keep it running even after disconnecting. You can later rejoin using commands like "tmux new -s journal-session". To execute any command, press "ctl+b". Detach with "d", list sessions with "tmux ls", attach back with "tmux attach -t journal-session".
It was a brief occurrence. I'm attempting to retrieve information from a hard disk where a partition vanished. The drive hasn't been used in about two years. It became simpler for me to connect via SSH to my Plex server (since the tools I'm using are Linux-based and command-line oriented). Now I realize the importance of screen. I also installed it. I'll remember this for future situations.
you're seeking a simple way to run commands without installing anything. `nohup` lets you do this by using `nohup command &`, and you can also send both stdout and stderr to a file with `2&> filename`. Be aware that systemd may terminate user background processes unless configured as a daemon, so if you're using systemd and want persistent service behavior, consider setting up a user service in your system configuration.
