Danmero Thanks!
BUT
It looks like nohup has to be used when the app/process is started, and I'm in the middle of a recover, not starting it.
Is there a way to shut down my terminal session withOUT stopping the running process on the remote computer, and a way that I can return to see the results of that process (testdisk updates the terminal screen as it scans cylinders, etc)?
TIA

Thanks Pludi,
looks like screen also needs to be up adn going before the process is running, but it will help in the future!

I want to be clear in describing what I am doing, so here goes again:
I fired up a terminal session in Mac OS X
then ssh'd into a remote device:

ssh root@192.168.2.9
password: XXXXXX
Welcome to FreeNAS!
Then got the freeNAS prompt:
I then installed Testdisk (MY FIRST UNIX INSTALL!!!) from the ports
Next I ran testdisk:

freenas:~# testdisk /dev/raid5/mktserver
and got the testdisk interface:

TestDisk is a free data recovery software designed to help recover lost
partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms
are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error.
It can also be used to repair some filesystem errors.
Information gathered during TestDisk use can be recorded for later
review. If you choose to create the text file, testdisk.log , it
will contain TestDisk options, technical information and various
outputs; including any folder/file names TestDisk was used to find and
list onscreen.
Use arrow keys to select, then press Enter key:
[ Create ] Create a new log file
[ Append ] Append information to log file
[ No Log ] Don't record anything
Selected my options and got the scan going....
Now I am waiting while a lovely and simple text screen rolls through thousands of blocks an hour, stuck. Unable (I THINK) to disconnect from the remote device without interrupting testdisk.
Am I stuck this time?
Thanks!!
