Duh, can I quit an ssh connection withOUT stopping a program running?
here's the sitch:

remote freeBSD device. I am ssh'd in as root and running cgsecurity's TESTDISK program. Testdisk will take DAYS to scan this multi-terabyte RAID. Can I quit my terminal or ssh connection, disconnect from the remote computer, come back to it later and NOT stop or interrupt the program running on the remote machine? And when I log back in, can I re-access the interface of the program?

If it were a brief app, I'd just experiment and see, but this is day 3 of a 7-day scan!

Thanks for the newbie help!

ssh-keysign

SSH-KEYSIGN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SSH-KEYSIGN(8)

NAME

     ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication

SYNOPSIS

     ssh-keysign

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
     SSH protocol version 2.

     ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
     EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.

     ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1).  See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
     tication.

FILES

     /etc/ssh/ssh_config
	     Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.

     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
	     These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature.  They should be owned by root, read-
	     able only by root, and not accessible to others.  Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
	     based authentication is used.

SEE ALSO

     ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)

HISTORY

     ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
