I have to run some programs on a shared workstation with x2go.
These programs take quite some time and I wish to:
- Start the program within x2go
- Log out
- Connect again after some time to the machine with x2go and see the results of the program
So, in the end, what I would like to do is similar to what one can do with screen
. However, it seems that logging out kills all the programs running.
The programs use Mathematica and in particular some of its dynamic built-in functions, so I need access to the X-server in order to interact with the GUI and screen
is not an option.
If needed, both my computer and the workstation use Ubuntu. The command cat /etc/os-release
give:
