Re: iSSH and Multitasking in iPhone OS 4.0

It's true that initially Dean thought the iPhone OS 4 multitasking wouldn't help iSSH, due to the limitations on what types of background tasks should run. However, later he went with the idea of using the "finish task in background" functionality to allow iSSH to run for a period of time after switching away. http://groups.google.com/group/issh/browse_thread/thread/d81e51ecfa489f7b/16b149707f0f87ef should be the thread with his last roadmap discussing that.

Beyond that, we won't know more for sure until OS 4 is released and apps have been approved.

Yes, except:  not all systems have screen installed and not all allow
software installation.  I often do remote support for customers who
may have no reason for screen, but I might have very good reasons for
leaving something running.  Of course I can do that with nohup, but
often getting to the specific machine might involve several steps (ssh
to a router first or maybe a vnc first and ten ssh or tenet), so it
would help if we could leave the connection up at least.

>> Some of the work we use it for definitely does benefit from running in the background.  My wife is doing this on her jailbroken pad with iSSH.  If we're troubleshooting a server (Asterisk), we may want to gather a few minutes' worth of Asterisk console events, then search/review them.  Without multi-tasking we can't do anything else while waiting for all the events to happen in the console.
