Linux command: keep on running a process after exiting from a shell prompt

I logged in a server remotely via ssh and I wanted to keep my program running even after turning off my computer (i.e., exiting from the shell prompt that my program is running on).

nohup [command] > [file_output] &

(ignoring input and redirecting stderr to std out)

For example: I want to continue running my java process:

nohup java -jar cluster.jar > output.txt &

- To keep updated about the output file and display it:
tail -f output.txt

Note:
- if you want to kill this process, use: kill -9 $pid
- Thanks, BM :-)

Pytorch and Keras cheat sheets

Sigmoid, tanh, ReLU functions. What are they and when to use which?

If you are working on Deep Learning or Machine Learning in general, you have heard of these three functions quite frequently. We know that they can all be used as activation functions in neural networks. But what are these functions and why do people use for example ReLU in this part, sigmoid in another part and so on? Here is a friendly introduction to these functions and a brief explanation of when to use which. Sigmoid function Output from 0 to 1 Exponential computation (hence, slow) Is usually used for binary classification (when output is 0 or 1) Almost never used (e.g., tanh is a better option) Tanh function A rescaled logistic sigmoid function (center at 0) Exponential computation Works better than sigmoid ReLU function (Rectified Linear Unit) and its variants Faster to compute Often used as default for activation function in hidden layers ReLU is a simple model which gives 0 value to all W*x + b < 0. The importance is that it introduces t...

Python Tkinter: Changing background images using key press

Let's write a simple Python application that changes its background image everytime you click on it. Here is a short code that helps you do that: import os, sys import Tkinter import Image, ImageTk def key(event): print "pressed", repr(event.char) event.widget.quit() root = Tkinter.Tk() root.bind_all(' ', key) root.geometry('+%d+%d' % (100,100)) dirlist = os.listdir('.') old_label_image = None for f in dirlist: try: image1 = Image.open(f) root.geometry('%dx%d' % (image1.size[0],image1.size[1])) tkpi = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image1) label_image = Tkinter.Label(root, image=tkpi) label_image.place(x=0,y=0,width=image1.size[0],height=image1.size[1]) root.title(f) if old_label_image is not None: old_label_image.destroy() old_label_image = label_image root.mainloop() # wait until user clicks the window except Exception, e: # Skip a...
