Sorry for such lame question but ..

When i am connected to server using SSH . How can i fetch process to
background and close ssh session and not kill that process? And how can i
later connect to server and fetch process from background to console?

All years i have been using "screen" for this.

Why not continue with screen on CentOS?

yum install screen

Screen is certainly the best method to do this that I have found ... is there a reason why you DON'T want to use screen.

you can use the '&' to put things in the background and use the command 'fg' to bring it to the foreground ... but screen also redirects stdout and stderr for you, so I would still use it unless there is a specific problem you are trying to address.

Or if you want a more modern approach - use freenx on the server and the NX client from www.nomachine.com. This will give you a complete GUI desktop that you can suspend when you disconnect and you can simply leave each process running it its own window so it is easy to find.

And - you can run the whole session over an ssh connection mananged by the client and it is very efficient even when run remotely.
