I am currently running a VPS (through Vultr) to mine ARO and it is going well with Ubuntu. I check in using Putty but when I close putty I guess the miner also stops so I lost out on several hours of mining until I went back in and realized that.
What can be done about this? The server never gets shutoff or logged out, so how can I make sure that the miner stays active? Linux n00b here

1.-close the miner
2.-type "screen" without quotation marks press enter , appears msg hit spacebar til promp apears again
3.-run the miner again
4.-after 1 or 2 minute that everything is running well press and hold control + A + D (this mean you hold CONTROL and press A key first, now put your finger out of A key and press D key)
5.-type screen -ls for display all screen session in your system could look like this
