I have successfully used the screen
utility to run my time consuming scripts when I am working on a server via ssh
. However lately I have been running into a problem, I have found my script terminated mid-process with the following message on the screen
log
: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0
What could be the issue here? If it makes any difference I was connecting from OSX with XQuartz running, and ssh -Y to connect to a remote server running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
-Y
option tossh
? Are you using the ssh connection to do anything other than run scripts within a remotescreen
session? If your script needs to launchX11
clients, you probably don't want to execute it within a (potentially) detachedscreen
session.
