Foreground shell script terminated when session expired

Hi,

I ran a shell script in the foreground but it seems that the shell script teminated when the session expired. Please let me knw if it's possible or hypothesis is incorrect ASAP.

What do you want to do? Your question is not clear.

Do you want the script to keep running when the terminal session expires and kills the shell?

you need to use nohup or screen to keep your job running even when the session expires / terminal is closed. check if this helps
