Hi.<br />
<br />
I would need something some way to run processes independently from hangups in linux (Debian Lenny to be exact, but I suppose it shouldn't matter) but with access to console. The last part makes nohup useless, as it redirects output to nohup.out and doesn't allow any input.<br />
<br />
The reason for this is, I want to log into my linux server with ssh, start downloading a large file with lynx and disconnect ssh, leaving the download running. I need to use lynx for downloading because I need to login to a webpage and after that only is the file available. Thus the need of console access at the beginning.<br />
<br />
I tried bacgrounding the process with ctrl+z and bg, but it stops after disconnecting (nohup would come in handy here, but as I said, it can't be used). Any ideas?

something like nohup but with access to terminal

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.
