how to log out & leave the pi mining.
Anyone have a good method for this?
Install screen.
Then once you log in run screen which will just give you a new shell.
Anything you have running in screen will remain running if you get disconnected.
When you have to reconnect just run screen -r and you'll be right back in your previous session.
Or just use vnc - it's installed by default on with Raspian, you just have to enable it. You can even control your Pi remotely with it.
