Answer 1

On a Debian-based system (on the remote machine) Install:

sudo apt-get install tmux

Usage:

tmux

run commands you want

To rename session:

Ctrl+B then $

set Name

To exit session:

Ctrl+B then D

(this leaves the tmux session). Then, you can log out of SSH.

When you need to come back/check on it again, start up SSH, and enter

tmux attach session_name

It will take you back to your tmux session.
