Often you come across a situation where you try to open a machine remotely using ssh and try to start a server or a run a command indefinitely.

But once you close the ssh session, your session also terminates and the background process also terminates. So here is a solution.

To open ssh remotely,

prompt $] ssh username@machinename
Ex: ssh root@172.16.1.1
Ex: ssh root@example.com 
prompt $] ssh -X username @machinename 
Ex. ssh -X root@172.16.1.1 

(this -X indicates the remote session can be opened in X window (GUI) mode)

prompt$] nohup command

prompt $] nohup  /etc/init.d/httpd start  1> file.out 2&…
