How I do run gnome app and let it run via SSH even after SSH closed?

I found that, exporting DISPLAY=:0.0 and starting a gnome app (xclock) would run on remote machine. The issue , when i log out of SSH, the xclock closes on the remote machine. I wanted it run there until i quit or kill it from remote machine itself. Is there way achieve it ?.


Solution 1:

If I understand your question correctly, the X Server is on the remote machine. Then you just need to filter the HUP signal with nohup.

Another nice command is screen which lets you reconnect to older sessions. Its worth a look when you often use SSH.
