I really like the products from https://wirelesstag.net/. However, the product documentation is sometimes less than complete and their staff less than professional. E.g. there is no information how to reset the outdoor probe when you need to associate it with another tag manager (and you have no access to the previous tag manager). They have information (and images) on how to do that for their wireless sensor tags, but not for the outdoor probe.

There are many ways how to keep a process running after logging out. Each if them has its own advantages and disadvantages: nohup, disown, screen, tmux, ssh2go, etc. Here's how it works with screen:

ssh user@server.com # connect to server
screen # start screen
run-a-long-process # start process
CTRL+a,d # to detach from your screen session
exit # disconnect from the server

ssh user@server.com # reconnect
screen -r # resume the screen session

I have not done this for perhaps a decade or more. But apparently, things are still the same on Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
cpan
make install
install Bundle::CPAN
install App::GnuplotUtils
