[gentoo-amd64] emerge world via ssh

Hi,

how can i run emerge -vD world, when i only have the possibility to access the 
machine via ssh for a short time?

i have tried emerge -vD world &

but that seems to stop before even the first ebuild is compiled. Then i tried 
putting the emerge command into a bash script, and running

emergeworld.sh&

but that had the same effect.

There has to be a possibility...

emerge screen

I use it all the time even in X-windows.  It is exactly what you're
looking for.

Install screen (emerge screen) then run emerge -vD inside that.

screen
emerge -vD
then press ctrl + a + d to disconnect from the session. Use screen -x to 
reconnect to it when you next login.

Alex

I think the easiest thing for this is to use the 'screen' utility. It will 
allow you to start emerge and disconnect/reconnect to that 'session'.
It is very usefull in this type of situation.

Thanks, thats been it.
It's working perfectly, the only issue is that i am not able to detach a 
session which i am in. konsole seems not to pass the Ctrl-a Ctrl-d command to 
screen via ssh.

It's "ctrl-a" followed by "d", not "ctrl-a" followed by "ctrl-d".

when you log out the shell and all subprocesses will be terminated (and
of course emerge). You can use nohup to make sure it will survive your
logout (nohup emerge -vD world &).

Although this has been answered I think it's worth noting that it's documented 
at:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml#leave_terminal

Hi,

you are right, but it's nearly impossible to find this page via google. I 
tried many times, but since the chapter is named "leaving your terminal", and 
not something like "emerge and logout" or "emerge without being logged in all 
the time" or something similar, there are no google hits for it.

perhaps one should note that in the wiki. i have not much time, but if noone 
else is interested in doing so, i will sooner or later.

As already mentioned, screen is a good way to solve this.

By the way. The compiling stops because you are starting emerge within the 
shell as child process of this shell. An if you terminate the father process 
(in this case the shell) by logging out, all child processes will be 
terminated too.

Yes, but I think screen is very usefull when you want to launch
multiple "screens" and interact with them (I have a mutt and an irssi
launched within a screen) but emerge is non-interactive (this is not
true when you have to agree to a license) and nohup should be
sufficient (and a tail -F to follow later the log)
