What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. my device is itouch4 and OS is 4.2.1, has been jail-breaked.
2. I use this tool for tunnel forwarding
3. When I ssh my host successfully, I press the home button to put terminal in 
background and use safari to access Internet, but I find terminal can't run in 
background, ssh connection will be disconnected.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I hope I can run it in background

This works:

date > myfile; sleep 20; date >> myfile
hit home button to exit MobileTerminal
restart MobileTerminal
cat myfile

Both dates have been written.

I also test it as comment 1 described, it works.But when I pressed home and 
then run mobileterminal again, it shows "loading..." and then login as user 
"mobile".I think it is restart again and is not run in background.
I use this tool to make a ssh proxy to over  GFW which is used to shield 
sensitive information in China. Here is my way, run mobileterminal and use 
command "ssh -D 1080 myname@myhost",then put mobileterminal run in background, 
set proxy of network and access Internet. I checked again and found it actually 
running in the background, ssh connections did not disconnect, but it can not 
go back original environment when I restart MobileTerminal.
Any solution to go back original environment? So I can disconnect ssh manually.

Maybe I should change this issue to "can't return original tty", if there are 
any inappropriate things, please turn off this bug, I can reopen a new one.

Try GNU Screen. On my device it is available in APT as simply screen. Install 
it and run ‘screen -R’ as the first thing in MobileTerminal, then do 
whatever work you want inside the virtual terminal it creates. This virtual 
terminal will persist across restarts of MobileTerminal and you can even enter 
it if you ssh to your device.

Sorry about duplicate issues,  I found version 520 could run in background but 
couldn't return original tty, that is my point. One solution is use ‘GNU 
screen' as comment 4 mentioned, another workaround is use 'backgrounder'.
