Hi José, Try this: nohup phenix.refine data.mtz model.pdb >& refine.log& On some systems "nohup" (no-hangup) will tell the system not to quit the job when the connection is terminated. All the best, Tom T On Oct 4, 2010, at 8:24 AM, José Trincão wrote:

Hello all, I've been running phenix.refine over ssh on a remote computer, on command line. I always run it in the background (adding & to the command line). If I disconnect the ssh (or it gets disconnected) the job hangs. Any way of leaving it running even after the ssh disconnects? Thank you.

simple solution is scheduling your command with at, like so: at now

phenix.command > output CTRL-D

The job will continue when you log off. The ampersand (&) is not required. Make sure to capture the standard output. Andreas On 04/10/2010 3:24, José Trincão wrote:
