If I close the gui, will the full node keep running? (Linux)

[dbolser]

I'm running this over ssh. Can I just close the gui and expect it to keep running?

kthxbi.

I think no, the gui will close all the chia related programs even if it is not started by itself.

chia start all / chia start farmer
Either one can be used to farm

Use chia start farmer instead of chia start all, the latter will try to start a timelord which is not recommended for normal users.

[dbolser]

Thanks both. I'm not quite a normal user... How do I know if being a timelord is for me?

So after closing the gui, logging off and then back on again, hitting . ./activate and then chia start farmer I see the following:

chia_harvester: Already running, use `-r` to restart
chia_farmer: Already running, use `-r` to restart
chia_full_node: Already running, use `-r` to restart
chia_wallet: Already running, use `-r` to restart

Safer to restart? How to check 'status'?

Huge thanks again both.

OK, chia show -s gives me:
