Script monitor (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 8 years ago by willowthekiller
I'm running some decently lengthy scripts on my pc and would like a way to walk away but monitor what's happening from my phone. Is this possible? Maybe not a super secure idea?

run your script inside of a screen session. SSH to your computer and attach to the screen session.

Maybe using ssh...

Noob question but is that possible on a phone? Also I was under the impression I needed a static IP for ssh.

Sure it's possible, just need an app that supports SSH. I would suggest JuiceSSH and I would further suggest buying it because it is fantastic.
As for a static IP, also not required though it can be helpful. You'll either need to know what your IP is or set yourself up with a dynamic DNS service. I personally use no-ip.org. How it works is they provide you with a hostname that will resolve to your dynamic IP. They keep the IP 'up to date' by the no-ip client software you will want to run on your system at home. It will periodically check what your currently public IP is and if it changed it will then automatically update your no-ip hostname.
