I want to keep an application running in the background when I log out.

That was working flawlessly with screen, but since today for some unknown reason the screen session is killed when I log out.

Any ideas?

  • Lots of ideas - but what troubleshooting have you done? What changes have you made? – user535733 Nov 23 '18 at 14:49
  • I tried all of this https://askubuntu.com/questions/8653/how-to-keep-processes-running-after-ending-ssh-session and all of this: https://www.tecmint.com/run-linux-command-process-in-background-detach-process/ nothing worked. It seems as if the os is killing the processes I create – user16794 Nov 23 '18 at 17:43
  • well, to me it seems that it is related to this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825394 – user16794 Nov 23 '18 at 17:52

If you need a "quick fix" and you currently can not use screen. Have a look at tmux.

Not a great solution, but it might just help you for the moment.

  • actually I went a completely different way now - Docker! It's far from optimal as it is quite some overhead to set up a docker container, but it works, thx... – user16794 Nov 24 '18 at 20:18
