I want to run some long term commands in powershell session on server,
and don't want to be connected to it all the time.

So how to disconnect a session but not end it, and then reconnect it
to check if the jobs are finished?

Or other ways to finish similar tasks?



Thanks all

With PowerShell v2, you *must* leave the "control console" running. You
cannot reconnect to a remote session once you close the console that started
that remote session.

Could you use your remote session to instantiate a scheduled task that invokes
PowerShell commands, then disconnect and reconnect later to check its status?

I just wanna confirm my idea. In practice we can always find a way to
do this job.
However if there exists a tool or method like GNU Screen does, that
would be better

Sorry, I don't follow... I don't use Screen either.
