[TriLUG] Virtual Console through ssh

[Randy Barlow]

Hi all,

    I heard that it is possible to establish a connection to a virtual 
console through ssh that one could detach from, allow $PROGRAM to run, 
then later log back in, reattach to the console, and check the status of 
the process.  I've been unable to find information about such process 
using $SEARCH_ENGINE.  So, how do I:

1) Log into a machine with ssh.

2) Attach my ssh console to a "virtual console" (not one of the <ATL>-FX 
consoles)

3) Begin execution of $PROGRAM.

4) Detach virtual console.

5) Log out from ssh session.

6) Go do $OTHER_ACTIVITIES.

7) Log into the machine through ssh.

8) Attach the same virtual console to the ssh session, so the screen 
appears as if I had never left?

Thanks!
