Forever, it runs whatever is the default shell. So if you're using bash it's exactly like

sudo bash

But I mean, if you log off, does it retain? AKA, do you have to do something to turn it off?

once you type exit it's gone and you're back to your user creds.

You have to exit from that shell. Normally, that's how we'd logoff of an ssh session. On a desktop, logging out should close all user land apps, which include shell sessions.

To keep a shell session running you'd want to use screen and detach the session. Other programs can do the same thing, but I'm forgetting what the newer ones are.

Got it, OK.

Just posting this
I recently rebuilt and redesigned the local lan here. Had to because of gear failure.
My old issue in XS of not being able to export vms quickly is gone. It had remained even after Citrix said they fixed the issue, so i now think it was something old sysadmin had done to cripple communications between networks(intentional or not i dunno).
Now when i export vms i am exporting at around 500Mbps through Xencenter, using 7.1 and 6.5. Unheard of in the past on this network.

It was definitely hit or miss, even among the XS forum people.
