Transcom.uk Dropcatch Software - SSH Keepalive with TMAX

[Transcom ISP]

Lots of questions on this, how do you keep an SSH session running in the background even if you shutdown your PC / Device...

Pretty easy, lots of methods, heres one :

1. Login to an SSH shell as normal
2. yum instal tmux or apt-get tmux (only need to do this once)
3. run tmux
4. run the dropcatch software, ie, php run.php
5. type tmax detach or CTRL B then D
6. you can now shut down / exit the shell
7. To rejoin, run the SSH, type tmux attach

If your running the software with 4 shells, then use tmax to open all 4 and run all 4 in the background, theres a good help file for this online at :

This works best for me

screen -D -R

You create a new screen and run all scripts in it.
You can leave the screen with Ctrl+A D and scripts will carry on running even if you close the shell.
This is also good because it preserves the screen output until you log back in.

A simpler option is to send the script to the background by adding & at the end of the command
