rsh timeout

[Tom Callahan]

research a lovely tool called screen. Screen will allow you to open a
"pseudo-shell" that can be escaped out of, and then rechecked for
completion at a later time. You can also disconnect while screen is
running, and it doesn't kill the process.

Thanks,

A real engineer only resorts to documentation when the keyboard dents on the forehead get too noticeable.
