At work we have a pretty powerful server on which we run computationally intensive programs. Many times, I want the programs I execute to continue running after I log off. This is how to do it:

screen -S blah  
run_my_command  
Ctrl+a d

I can now log off and go home. The program will continue executing safely.

The following day, I log back to the server and type:

screen -r blah

I’m now back where I was.

Facebook

Historically, I was not a fan of Facebook, to put it mildly. And yet, tomorrow is my first day working at Facebook.
