Re: [Genesis-sim-users] question about Genesis via batch systems

[Hugo C. <hug...@gm...>]

Hi Susan,

I use the screen command for running Genesis in the background.

The screen command detaches the terminal session from your window and
continues running in the background.  After detaching, you can reattach a
few hours or days later via the same screen command.

Typing screen in a system shell creates a new session.

Typing control-a control-d in such a session detaches that session and puts
it in the background.  Running processes continue running (but they must
not use any X-Window calls).

Typing screen -ls in a system shell lists all the active screen sessions.

Typing screen -r in a system shell reattach to a running background
session.  Output to the terminal is preserved and will be displayed.

The screen command also has logging capabilities.

I hope this helps.

Hugo
