First, sorry if this is double posted. I didn't see my first post come
through the list.
Anyway, to try and answer your question.
You can try running everything within a screen session.

I've been running screen now for a couple of days - what an
extraordinarily useful program. Once I learned how to name the
individual buffers (CTRL-a A) and access the scrollback buffer (CTRL-a
[), I was in business. I log into my "server" via PuTTY on my laptop,
and I've always had a ton of trouble with wireless network flakiness
destroying sessions midway through. Now with screen I don't have to
worry about that. If the network goes down, it doesn't matter. I just
log back in and run 'screen -D -R' and I'm exactly where I left off.
Thanks for the pointer.
