Put this in front of the miner command:

Code:

screen -S 1

Now press CTRL+A followed by CTRL+D. You can safely close Putty.

To resume, type

Code:

screen -r 1

or just

Code:

screen -r

(This will tell you if you have multiple screens running.)

Wait a second. That means that when i close putty DO will stop everything? But why?

also if this indeed happens and i will reconnect with putty, what happens? I reconnected, put username and pass but i dont see anything...

If you close down Putty while the miner window is active, it will stop mining. When you reconnect the miner will not be running. Follow my guide above if you don't want to leave Putty running.

Screen is good advice.

If it's not installed, just run apt-get install screen

if you mining with cpuminer, just add -B at the end of the command line now the miner is running in the back

How do I keep the miner running after closing Putty? (digital ocean)
When I close Putty the miner stops aswell.

use "screen" command if available. Than press ctrl+A, than ctrl+D to detach. Close session.

Or add "&" at the end of the command than end session.

I could be wrong, but I believe adding the & will only send the process to the background and allow you to execute other commands with that session.

It would not change the fact that the process is owned by PuTTY, and, if I'm thinking correctly, will still kill the child process when PuTTY is exited.

nohub should work, however,

You can also use tmux.
