Gnut in the Backgroup
 

Is there a way to interact with gnut running in the background on Linux?

I want to be able to telnet to my linux server and be able to log off, but still keep my server running.

You can do what you want with the help of screen. If you start screen, you get a shell prompt, where you can start gnut. If you read screen's documentation, you'll find out to detach screen from a terminal, and reattach it to your current terminal. Install the screen package for your distribution, and consult man screen.

Amazing, screen is awesome for my usage. I think it's about the coolest thing I've learned in several months.

I come and go to work, but my Linux box is in yet a different place, and always online. I love keeping a working session live. I've learned lynx as well which is pretty cool for banner free repeated web browsing.

Thanks,
