[General] screen command or a replacement

[Abdulaziz AL-Asfour]

Salamu Alaykom...

To all *nix experts:

For example you want to download or copy a big file ... or you want to start
any command using the terminal (from a remote PC):


   - You want to see the output of this command
   - While seeing the output, if the session gets disconnected, you do
   not want to interrupt the operation (Coping or viewing the output of the
   command)

If i do:

   - screen /opt/application/bin/server

or

   - screen wget url.tar

If there is a network problem and your terminal gets disconnected before
pressing (Ctrl-A-D), you will lose your session (Correct me if I am wrong)

I do not want that to happen.... and I want at the same time to view the
output of the executed command (Maybe putting it in the background won't do
the trick also)....

Any tips, shabab? :)
