My friend is screen I think 8)
Installation:
Login over ssh, starting screen at the prompt
Press Enter or space to close Dialog. Then work with the following commands. Every command starts with a [Strg a] and the program waits for a parameter. For example:
[Strg-a] [c] - screen - opens a new virtual window
[Strg-a] [space] - next - changes to next window
[Strg-a] [d] - detach - set the screen "free", current processes keep on running. You can logout and close ssh-connction now.
Next ssh-session you type on the prompt
[Strg-a] [K] - kill - Kills the screen session: Really kill this window [y/n]
