Command for using lxterminal with certain parameters

This tool deals with such situations, as well.

So cool: I always keep learning new things - after almost 30 years with Unix/Linux.

Hi @Mina,

thanks so much for the clarification. That´s really cool.

@Mina

If you didn’t do that and just hit Ctrl-Z the program will be suspended (not running), whilst if you issue bg afterwards, it will continue to run, but not showing its output.

I see.
Thank you so much for teaching me some new things (new to me at least ).

I´ll probably make extended use of Ctrl-Z and fg un the future.

Many greetings.

I was aware of the existence of the screen command, but never got into a situation where I had to use it,

My friend lives pretty far away from me.
Had I been able to ssh into my friend´s laptop I could´ve helped her perform a clonezilla backup of her system (disk-backup).

In this case I would´ve been able to make good use of the screen command:

• I log in via SSH, start screen and after that the desired programme (“sudo clonezilla” in this case).

• Then I may call up the detach command and can log off if I want to.

• However, the program (clonezilla) continues to work in the background and I can resume the session with the program when I decide to I log in again

So there wouldn´t have been the need to be constantly connected to her clonezilla live system for the duration of her backup.

I once discussed it here:

Many greetings.
