Remote Process
I have a question about running a process remotely via ssh. If I close the Terminal window on the Mac I'm in front of, or disconnect that Mac from the network, will the process I'm running on the remote machine be terminated? Basically, do I need to stay actively logged in via ssh in order for that process to keep running?
I ask because I'm right now running a large database-crunching script via ssh from my iBook on our group's DualG4. I'm doing it on the DualG4 because it'll take one-third as long as on my iBook; and I'm doing via ssh so that people can keep using the G4 during the hour or two it'll take to run my script. I'd like to be able to fold up my iBook and come back when the G4 is done. I have a feeling that's not the way it works, however...
