Can you help me with this problem?
I want to detach a process I start in a server. This process is an application with one window/widget (similar to gedit, kate...). I access to the server by means of ssh -X, and run the binary process in a terminal. I have used screen and tmux, but the problem is that once I run the process, the window is oppened remotely from the server to my computer. Then, I would like to let the process openned, so I close the screen/tmux, and once I exit the ssh connection, the terminal waits till I close the process window, thus killing the process in the server.
Is there any way to let the process detached even with the process X windows?
I don't think it is possible over ssh. When you have such process, it needs to communicate with the X server (which is running on your client). You can't just take it away from the process.
If you need to run processes with X detached, you need to use X server on that remote machine. For this use case, VNC is probably better solution, since it can create virtual displays that are available even after disconnect.
