I'm going to run prog.cpp on my university's Linux cluster (compiled with gcc). I project that the program will take 3-6 days to complete. I was thinking of running it as
./prog &
to run it in the background. My questions are:
- Is it safe for me to just close the terminal window?
- How do I know when my program is complete? Can I make GCC notify me somehow?
2+1, another 30 secs, and I would have said the same thing. – rcollyer – 2011-11-30T18:30:30.500
A 2-line shell script seems like overkill, IMHO, unless you're going to do this regularly. But that may just be me ... – None – 2011-11-30T18:34:36.320
+1 That would have been my answer. – Yitzchak – 2011-11-30T19:53:50.133
