How to start process over ssh that doesn't terminate when session ends?

Question

Is there a way to start a process using ssh that doesn't terminate when the ssh session terminates? I want the job to keep running on the computer I'm ssh-ing into without me having to keep the connection open.

you can use nohup (assuming you are SSHing into *nix server)

Answer 2

You could use the screen utility.
