Process on distant server
Hello,

I have a question regarding how to manage a process on a distant unix server.
I perform calculations on a dedicated Unix server (RedHat ELS5.5) using Matlab (installed on the server). The commands are written in a terminal session (via ssh) on my laptop (MacBook Pro6,2 - MacOS X 10.6.7).
My question is the following: I perform calculations that last for days, during this time it is difficult to let my laptop permanently on and at the same place. So, if I exit my terminal session and shut off my laptop, when I reconnect to the server, I am not able to retrieve the running calculation process.
Is there a way to launch a calculation on the server from my machine, deconnect for a while and then reconnect to the server and go back to the running matlab calculation ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards
