title: SSH connection - run program -> howto to keep program running when the ssh-connection is closed
body: <p><strong>In short:</strong>
  What is the most elegant solution to keep a perl/python/R/etc script/program running on a server (connected via ssh) when the remote server connection is closed (shell-window closed)?</p>
  
  <p><strong>In detail:</strong>
  I have written some scripts that will run several days on our server. However, after connecting to the server via SSH over a linux-shell, starting the program and closing the window will also kill the program - OK, thats not new. But, how must the Server be configured to keep the program running after the ssh-connection is closed?
  "screen" can be one solution, hmm but for me that to much typing and sometime I forgot to start a screen session and start the program  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your advice!</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,
  Yeti</p>
