I learned to use this command a long time ago the hard way when I was updating Redhat with more than 100 files including kernel updates over SSH and our the power in the office went dead. Recovering from a half updated OS is not fun so I suggest you use “screen” when using “yum” or “apt-get”.

The nohup command can help you there. Have a quick google and you will find out all about it.

What about keep sessions with server X redirected? (ssh -X)
It would be nice.

Thank you in advance
