Well, I started a long-running compile on my Pi...in an SSH session. Is it safe to close the session? I'm actually not sure.
@Skirmisher either you cancel it and run it in a 'screen' session instead, or you hit ctrl+z to pause it, then type 'bg' to run it in the background, then 'nohup' to disown it. you won't see the output when doing the latter so I'd recommend screen when possible. screen is kinda unintuitive to use at first but you can find guides
@notwa @Skirmisher tmux is also an option that accomplishes similar things to Screen, if it’s available. Most people I know who use tmux day-to-day prefer it to Screen.
@zigg @Skirmisher i've never considered that before! i should look into it…
@zigg Okay, I got tmux because I'm frustrated and I want to do this a good way. What do I do now?
@zigg Never mind, I understand how it works now. I'm up way later than I should, though, so I'm mad about it for no reason. :(
@Skirmisher Yeah, sorry, and I have to go to work 😞
@zigg Don't worry about it! It worked out in the end, I'm just stressed about being up late. ^^;
@notwa For @Skirmisher either will work 😊 But yeah, figured I’d mention it in case it’s already there
