Topic: run cgminer in background after logout (gnu/linux) [solved] (Read 2088 times)
Hey, thanks michelem, I will try that. I guess I shoulda read `man screen' eh?

Hi,
I got my usb miner running nicely with cgminer on my gnu/linux laptop. However, this particular laptop sits in a closet and acts more like a fileserver than a laptop (the screen gave out on it years ago). Therefore I ssh into it from another computer.
This is going dandy except that I want to logout of the ssh session and leave the miner running until I log in again later.
I experimented with:
$ ./cgminer ... &
But logout (ie, $ exit) stops the job.
And I tried:
$ screen cgminer ... &
But again, logout stops the job.
I'm sure there's some easy solution. Let me know!

This should do the job:
Code:
screen -dmS cgminer ./cgminer
I guess I could use a cron job for this, but surely there's some simpler way to keep a job running after you logout. I'm so surprised no one has this on top of their heads .... alas.
