Use screen to run rpc/miner in the background without multiple ssh connections #2

Closed aakilfernandes closed 9 years ago

aakilfernandes commented 9 years ago

This is especially important so that if your SSH connection breaks, your rpc/miner keeps going

angelomilan commented 9 years ago

That's great! When do you use screen? before or after geth --rpc console command?

Also see my conversation with Adam Rotello on forum ethereum:

AdamRotello August 2 First off, thanks for putting up that AWS mining guide. It's been immensly helpful. You mention in the AWS writeup that you can close the ssh terminal and the mining process will still run. When you ssh back into the machine how can you identify that the miner is still doing work? Thanks.

terzim terzim 12:03PM Hi Adam. No worries. I will get back to you sooner rather than later on this. We are writing a little clarification about this in the note.

terzim terzim 12:05PM essentially the proper solution appears to run a "screen" command to keep the server running even if you close the connection. More details int he guide.

AdamRotello AdamRotello 12:07PM Yeah, I figured it out and used tmux instead of screen. Thanks.

@terzim so please edit the guide accordingly

@angelomilan i will try to tonight, there is a strange message saying:

"This branch has conflicts that must be resolved Use the command line to resolve conflicts before continuing"

Hi @aakilfernandes Aakli,

I updated the guide using your writeup. Thanks for the comment, all credit goes to you.
