Quitting shell stops zfs send/receive task

[chiknbake]

Hello, CLI/nix newbie and I'm having a issue where running zfs send | receive task through the web interface shell will quit if I exit the shell or the web interface times out. I know that with other nix commands there are options to run the task regardless of if the shell is left open but I couldn't find the option in the zfs man pages. Anyone have any idea how I can keep this task alive?

For ref this is my current command

Code:

zfs send vol1@bu200119 | zfs receive -vF extbu1

Hi,

Typical Unix way to send a task to background is to add & at the end...

You can also put your command in a script and call it from Cron. Cron will keep it running for as long as needed.

There are many options here...

Worked perfectly, thanks for the help!

...or run it in a tmux session, which might be even a better way to do it:
