Little tip, start it with
screen bitcoind
You can then exit the session and leave it running.
nohup
is probably the better command.
As a relative N00B does "bitcoind daemon" achive similar to nohup? I just setup bitcoind and am noticing that once I loose my SSH the bitcoind stops.
So I just started with cranking up bitcoind daemon but am not 100% sure if it keeps chugging after I close SSH.
If nohup is the way to go is the command nohup bitcoind or bitcoind nohup or drill into some directory - fyi I have bitcoind running at root since I dont use this VPS or this bitcoind for anything other than helping out seeding....
