Not so much a question, as wondering whether what I observed empirically somehow makes sense. When I ssh into a remote server and run a program and then the connection is terminated (because of a connection issue, or because ssh is killed), the program dies too. Even if it was running in the background. However, when I do the same but manually exit the ssh connection after making the program run in the background, the program continues to run. So: ssh me@remote foo.sh & [connection dies] [foo.sh dies too] But ssh me@remote foo.sh & exit [foo.sh is still running] Does this make sense?
