Okay, stupid question here. I'm sure there is a simple answer but I'm not pulling it right now. Here is my problem:

I'm running BAMT on a headless, caseless setup. I'm trying to install Stratum, I have it installed and working. I have two problems though:

1. Since I'm headless, if I open a terminal window and putty in to the BAMT box I need to keep the computer I am logging in from turned on and the terminal window open, or Stratum stops. I know I can probably use nohup to get around this but since it automatically redirects to a log, and BAMT runs off of a flash drive, I need to figure a way for it to not be logging or I'm going to wear out my flashdrive mighty quickly (not to mention filling it to overflow first probably).

2. Same issue, Bamt, headless, caseless, etc... I want to set Stratum to start in the startup sequence so if I have to power down the BAMT box Stratum automatically starts up before the mining software does. I know where to put it, in theory, to do so but I need the same issue resolved. If the actual solution to my question #1 won't work in a startup sequence, then I need to know how to do the same thing in the startup sequence.

I keep my BAMT box on 24/7 except for reboots. I do not keep the windows machine I am using to log into the BAMT box on 24/7 so I'm trying to figure out how to resolve these issues so I can use Stratum all the time. Sorry if they are newbieish questions but I haven't been doing much with linux in more than a decade (except minimal experimentation to get BAMT going).

Thank you for any help in advance.

screen is your friend
open a screen session (type screen -help after ssh to headless linux box) do as you would usually the screen session, when you are finished ~~screen -d~~ CTRL-a dto detach out of screen (programs keep running) then turn your pc off
next time you want to check it ssh in screen -r and it is all still there waiting for you Cheesy
