As one of the comments says, mosh is great for this sort of thing. I use mosh from my laptop, and it is simply bullet-proof. I can hibernate my laptop, warm it up a few days later, and it's all still connected absolutely fine. Running processes that produce loads of output don't care either. In fact, it's now my preferred way to run long jobs for work that don't want to be interrupted by a dropped connection - the alternative is running them with nohup or "at now".
- polairscience 2y agoI would argue that it's still much better to run "real" jobs in a daemon or in a multiplexer like screen or tmux. But for picking stuff up, agreed, mosh is amazing.
- mnw21cam 2y agoYes, the difference is that if the computer running mosh client crashes (or runs out of battery without you realising), then you lose the ability to re-connect with the mosh server, which is where screen or tmux win.
