Title: run cgminer in background after logout (gnu/linux) [solved] Post by: tspacepilot on December 27, 2014, 08:51:16 PM Hi,
I got my usb miner running nicely with cgminer on my gnu/linux laptop. However, this particular laptop sits in a closet and acts more like a fileserver than a laptop (the screen gave out on it years ago). Therefore I ssh into it from another computer. This is going dandy except that I want to logout of the ssh session and leave the miner running until I log in again later. I experimented with: $ ./cgminer ... & But logout (ie, $ exit) stops the job. And I tried: $ screen cgminer ... & But again, logout stops the job. I'm sure there's some easy solution. Let me know! --TSP Title: Re: run cgminer in background after logout (gnu/linux) Post by: tspacepilot on December 28, 2014, 12:37:07 AM I guess I could use a cron job for this, but surely there's some simpler way to keep a job running after you logout. I'm so surprised no one has this on top of their heads .... alas.

I guess I shoulda read `man screen' eh? :)
