nohup error

Can anyone help with the message I keep getting when I try and run a command in a script?

nohup: cannot get $HOME

script command is

/usr/bin/su cduser -c " . /opt/mbnatools/cdirect/mbna_cdirectenv.sh ; nohup /opt/cdirect/cd3300/ndm/bin/cdpmgr -i /opt/cdirect/cd3300/ndm/cfg/cdmbnahp62/initparm.cfg ; sleep 5 "

This can be cancelled. Found the problem that being with the su without the minus. HOME was not set, so set $HOME in env file and exported. Command now works ok and error message no longer evident

Hi Neil,

It's right what you say.
By the way, if you plan to execute the same script from crontab list, you have to manually execute your own profile file as a first instruction in the crontab script.

Hi,

#export $HOME and run the script
