I'm using PuTTY to connect from my vista comp to a server running gentoo. How can I close the connection but have the server continue to run whatever app that I was using? IE I'm running a game server and want it to stay running without me having to keep my vista comp on.
The dirty way:
/usr/bin/nohup command arguments
DON'T FORGET THE /USR/BIN, it's better not to use the shell built-in nohup.
The clean way:
Use GNU screen.
