Automatic Background Processes I'm running my Raspberry Pi off an SSH server, and want to be able to access it out of home. Sure, all I need is an IP. But with my terrible internet, it's constantly dropping out. My IP is constantly changing. To counteract this, I setup a script to test if my IP is the same as it was 30 minutes ago, every 30 minutes. I also have a script set to kill this, so it doesn't go on forever or until reboot. **How can I make my process run itself in the background, without user interaction via. regex like`nohup`? Can `nohup` be self-automated? I want this functionality so I don't need an extra computer open while away. (Again, I'm accessing my Pi from SSH)**

use the following to run command in background, it detaches from terminal


nohup command &


or if running command from termial, to put in background do:


command


then `ctrl+z` on keyboard to suspend current process, then type:


bg


to push suspended process to background. type:


jobs


to list current jobs, including your background process. type:


fg %n


where `n` in job number from `jobs` command.

`nohup command &` can easily be scripted.
