Can I start an IPython session through ssh and log in again?

Question

I work on a machine for ssh, where I run ipythonfor interactive work. Can I run the long-running Python function from IPython, disconnect the ssh connection and re-enter the IPython session to observe the result?

Answer 1

Yes. Use screen, tmux(superior) or similar software. Both use the concept of sessions to which you join and disconnect.

C tmux:

• Run tmuxand then ipython.
• , <Ctrl+b> d . .
• , tmux attach ipython.

screen, <Ctrl+a> <Ctrl+d> screen -r.
