[hubin_1]

In the "man nohup",it should be " nohup (date; who)". but it donot work.

$ nohup (date; who)
sh: Syntax error: `(' is not expected.

How should I do?

1. What i want to do is
dd,then compress the dd file
so,i can not use nohup dd...;nohup compress ..

2. $ nohup "(date; who)"
Sending output to nohup.out
nohup: (date; who): No such file or directory

no hup dd | nohup compress
will do it.
Test it on a small file though.

[hubin_1]

nohup dd if=/dev/vgnjs03/rnzlist187 of=/jsbak1/zhjs2tape/zhjsdb200512/ZHJS_LIST_WJJS_200512.75 bs=1024000 | nohup compress /jsbak1/zhjs2tape/zhjsdb200512/ZHJS_LIST_WJJS_200512.75

the file ZHJS_LIST_WJJS_200512.75 do not been compressed. :(
