xrad Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If im using ssh and start a program that I need to run after i leave ssh, like reaver or something that needs to run a long time. I would also like to be able to log back in to check the status of reaver (or any other program) at any time. How would i do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The easiest way to do this, if you need to check back in with the program is to install screen: opkg update opkg install screen Then run screen and run reaver inside of it. I am not going to explain how to use screen, it's a very very common tool and you'll find many guides on it with a quick Google search.

johndanger Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You could open a screen session and run reaver in it. screen -S 'name_of your_session' - Starts a session with that name. You would run reaver and hit Ctrl+a+d to detach from the session, this will run even when you are logged out. To resume the session, just use the command: screen -r 'name_of_your_session'. For more information on the screen command, here is the manpage: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
