Run SSH In The background After Running a GUI Linux Application

To run an SSH session in the background after running a GUI Linux application, you can use the nohup command and the & symbol.

The nohup command allows you to run a command or process that is immune to the HUP (hangup) signal, which is used to terminate processes that are running in the background. This can be useful when running a GUI application that may generate the HUP signal when it is closed.

The & symbol allows you to run a command or process in the background, rather than in the foreground. This allows you to continue using the terminal or command prompt while the command or process is running.

Here's an example of how to use the nohup command and the & symbol to run an SSH session in the background after running a GUI Linux application:

nohup ssh username@remote_host &

This will start an SSH session with the remote_host as the username user, and the session will be immune to the HUP signal. The & symbol will cause the SSH session to run in the background, so you can continue using the terminal or command prompt while the session is running.

By using the nohup command and the & symbol, you can run an SSH session in the background after running a GUI Linux application. It's always a good idea to carefully review the documentation and use the appropriate options and syntax when working with the nohup command and the & symbol. This will help ensure that your SSH session is run correctly and that any problems are detected and addressed.
