[QUOTE="wiz561, post: 61877"] Hi! OK... Here's two examples... 1) I'm compiling a program and don't know how long it'll take to finish. It's about 4:55 and I have to leave at 5:00 and it's not going to get done. Normally, I will stop the compile, shutdown, leave work, and start it up again the next day. Is there a way I could "pause" it, shutdown, leave work, turn on the computer hte next day, and pickup where I left off? 2) I'm running a nmap or nessus scan of a very large network. Again, it's 4:55 and it won't get done in 5 minutes. Similar to the first scenario, I'd like to shutdown, etc... The next day, I don't want to start the scan all over, but I'd like to pickup where I left off. I thought the 'screen' command would be the way to go, but I'm not 100% sure. As I said, I'm just starting to get started in the unix world, and I'm not familiar with all the commands just yet. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
