Keep program running after disconnect
Screen is a terminal multiplexer program available for Linux, macOS, BSD and similar. Screen allows programs to continue running after a remote user disconnects. If a remote connection is lost unintentionally, screen may not allow reconnection by default by the usual
screen -list
screen -r <id>normally allows reconnecting to a remote session after logging off.
When a connection is lost before disconnecting from screen, you may need the “-x” option:
screen -x <id>A downside of screen is the difficulty scrolling back in history. Although screen is a mature project, development is still ongoing.
Screen is a terminal multiplexer, and some prefer tmux over screen. Another option is using nohup.
