If your programs are started from a command line, you can start with "set nohup" (nohup is "no hangup") then run your programs in the background (that is, terminate the command with " &". That way, when your terminal session ends, the programs will keep running.[*]2. No possibility to switch users:
Neither in lock screen nor in main menu is there a possibility to switch users. When I lock the screen no other family member can log in. I can’t keep my programs open because logout is the only option for an other user to log in.
E.g. I have a shell script that streams my local classical music station over the net. So if I log in and start it in a way that I can log off and it will continue to run...
Code:
<prompt> $ set nohup<prompt> $ runkdfc &Statistics: Posted by W. H. Heydt — Sat Jan 31, 2026 11:07 pm
