phenixdragon Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Sorry for all what may seem like simple questions. I'm just not familiar with Linux/UNIX but I am learning here. Another question I have is about logging into a telnet session that is actively running a command. I just started a pre-clear on a drive but I used OS X to telnet over to the server to run it. I can see that it shows me the progress. I will need to close out of my telnet window which I am assuming the pre-clear will still be running. I should actually confirm that. Would it still continue to run the pre-clear? And if it does, how can I telnet back in and view the progress? Link to comment
theone Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It will keep running if you started it with the screen command. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.msg24827#msg24827 screen is pre-installed on latest unRAID versions so it doesn't need to be installed again - just used when running the command.

The pre-clear will terminate when you end the telnet session. I should actually confirm that. Would it still continue to run the pre-clear? And if it does, how can I telnet back in and view the progress? You can't. It is terminated when you log out. Either 1. Do not log out or 2. Use the system console (you have 6 virtual consoles accessible as Alt-F1 through Alt-F6) or 3. Use the "screen" program to manage virtual screens so you can disconnect and re-connect at will. It is described here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.msg24827#msg24827 I do not think it is a part of unRAID. I think you'll have to download and install it as described on that post. If you reboot, you'll need to re-install it. Link to comment
phenixdragon Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 I just tried the system console and it seems not to work. So I tried screen and installed it following the steps, but when I try to use the commad "screen" I receive the following error: Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm-color'. Link to comment
phenixdragon Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Looks like screen works inside Windows but not OS X, or at least some setting needs to be configured. So for the most part that works for me. Link to comment

So for the most part that works for me. Type TERM=xterm export TERM then try the screen command again. Your "telnet" session is apparently setting the terminal type to one not known by unRAID You need to log in on each of the system console's virtual terminals as "root", then you can type commands.
