Hi, thanks for the reply. Sorry, for not getting back earlier. So I had already done this from ssh, but today I re-verified. I was logging into the kindle with ssh, I started the python script directly like this:

./ssloop.py &

And then I saw it update the screen a few times. Then, I exited my ssh login, and I unplugged USB. I saw 3 more screen updates (1 per minute) and then nothing. I would log back in with ssh, and typed:

ps -ef | grep ssloop

and the process is gone. I wondered if "screen" was available but it's not there. Not sure if that would help anyway. Is there any way from /var/logs to see who kills given processes?
