An ssh terminal session may disconnect due to various reasons and inadvertently kill any running processes.

Use the screen command to save the session. While your SSH session gets disconnected the screen command will keep your remote process running.

screen -help

or: screen -r [host.tty]

-a Force all capabilities into each window’s termcap.
