I noticed that if you run phenix in the background, you cannot close the terminal. Otherwise, the job stops. I want to run a job remotely in the background and then put my computer to sleep. Did not work. The remote job stopped when I put my computer to sleep.

Maia, If you don't want to get involved with using screen, you could just enclose your command in parentheses, like this (shown for bash shell): (phenix.refine > output.log 2>&1 &) This will run it in a new subshell instead of the shell that is quit when you close the terminal window. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz James R.
