I seem unable to find a clear answer, so I figured on asking a clear question instead (well, technically it's two questions, but they are similar).
If I'm using remote terminal from another machine on the network (a non linux machine, but I think that would be academic), or indeed from outside the network when I terminal from my phone (again, not sure it would matter, but just in case...) and I start a long process and the connection becomes broken (let's say the cat sits on the keyboard and closes putty; or cell service drops; or the other cat is playing with the flashing light on the power bar and manages to turn the router off); both ends of the connection are still active, just no longer connected...
Q1) If I'm running a normal command like rsync (but not limited to) and it was incomplete, does the command continue to run on the server?
Q2) If I'm running a bash executable, which again was incomplete, does the command continue to run on the server?
I know I can reconnect and just run things again, but not everything is as handy as rsync when it comes to resuming; and if it's a bash file running, it would take investigation to figure out how far it got. The processes I'm using are primarily file manipulation; but are not limited to them (just in case that matters)
