Long running process with ssh session

[luisvale]

Hi all

Sorry for the n00b question but I've searched the forum and couldn't get a direction to follow.

I'm logging to the FreeNas console via ssh and I'm running some looonnnngggg rsync processes manually and would like to close the calling computer session without interrupting the process.

I know I could use the screen command to detach the session but it's not in the distribution (8.04 release).

Just my 2c, but on the following distributions could the "Masters" include it ?

In the meantime any hints on how to install it ?


Best regards

Luis

Use tmux, it's included and provides the same functionality and more.
