Now that I can ssh from anywhere to my linux box using my new Treo 650 and pssh<\/A>, I am really enjoying the authoritative command-line versions<\/a> of bittorrent straight from Bram Cohen. All I needed was a way to easily ssh in, play with torrents, and disconnect without stopping bittorrent. There are three ways that I know of to leave processes running after disconnecting from a terminal:<\/p>\n

  • nohup
    \nThis is specifically designed to run processes detached from terminal.<\/p>\n
  • double &
    \neg: (.\/btlaunchmany.py torrent\/active\/ > torrent.log 2>&1 &) &<\/p>\n
  • screen
    \nThis is an entire “screen manager” for processes that use the terminal to display output.<\/p>\n

    \n[screen] really kicks booty – screen and btlaunchmanycurses.py are a perfect match:<\/p>\n

  • screen btlaunchmanycurses.py –max_upload_rate 1000 \/torrents\n
  • [ctrl-a d] to disconnect and drop to command line\n
  • [screen -r] to reopen the backgrounded session\n
  • Killing the session does NOT kill the bittorrent process – relogin and do [screen -r]\n
  • After reopening, kill bt as usual to end process\n

    Try it out, it rocks! More on this here<\/A>…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
