Ssh question

I have made myslef a little server were i intend to run samba shares and torrent (rtorrent maybe).
I've already installed ssh and rtorrent. I acces that server via my desktop computer using ssh.
How can i leave a ssh session open? (so rtorrent wont close everytime i shut my desktop down).

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Ssh question

Also check out dtach, which is a very small program which emulates the detach feature of screen. To use it, create an alias like:

alias runtorrent='dtach -A ~/.dtach.torrent rtorrent'

Then when you run the command runtorrent, rtorrent will be started if it is not running. If it is running, then you'll start right where you left off. Use Ctrl-\ to detach the screen.
