Post subject:  Cannot make btdownloadheadless.py run in background
I use SSH2 terminal connection to Debian GNU box. When I type
python btdownloadheadless.py some.torrent &
after a while a get a message that python process is stopped. Another problem is when I disconnect the terminal that started the background process, next time I login it is gone. Someone has an idea?

try using the screen program:

screen btdownloadheadless.py some.torrent

it starts a separate terminal session that will continue to run after you disconnect. you can disconnect with ctrl-A followed by D. you can reattach with screen -x.

Post subject:  tryed that ...
i'm running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE and it doesn't have screen command
i get the following output
screen: Command not found.
i can't even find it at the ports.
i tryed nohup and it worked fine.
my problem was that i counldn't see what was going on with the download.
so i added > file to get the output from the prog .. but the file gets too big.
the starting idea was to put a ssh script to crontab .
any help would be apricieted.
thank you.
