Run Installation In Background

[dan223]

Is it possible to run the cPanel installation in the background rather than keeping the SSH windows open. We install it on VPS's therefore its not fast and takes time, we recently had a network problem (on the computers that were running SSH cPanel setup) and this therefore stopped the installation and was a great hasstle.

So therefore I was wondering if theres a way to run the cPanel install and let it run in the background without having to have SSH open all the time.

You can also use screen utility to open a new window and start installation in screen window.

"Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes (typically interactive shells)."
