proccess in background

[Fredy Correa]

good afternoon.. with which command can I execute a job so that when closing the session the process it is not canceled???
I am attempting with nohup, with & but it doesn't work.
Thank you

nohup &

Were you forgetting the Amperstand character at the end?

[Kent Ostby]

Fredy:

nohup &

should work.

What command is it that you are trying to run?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom Fredy,

the nohup command tries to create a file called nohup.out in the current directory. Its possible if access rights don't permit this that its being blocked.

Bear in mind that nohup sets the default signal handling for the child process to ignore SIGHUP and SIGQUIT but the child process might introduce custom signal handlers which override this behavior thus not all processes are valid candidates for nohup.

Fredy,

As everyone has mentioned what you wish to do works with nohup command & .
Why you are saying it doesnt run ?
When you give the command
nohup commmand &
the pid of the process is displayed. So
1. Check before exiting from the session if the process is running by
ps -ef | grep
2. Check the nohup.out file - to see if any errors had occured.

Hope this helps,

Ninad

When generating the command it tells me that the pid is XXX, when I see for ps - ef appears me that and other jobs that the one generates, when leaving the session it cancels them

the nohup.out is this hole

[Muthukumar_5]

Try like this:

-- script --
contains shell commands

# nohup ./script 1>/tmp/test.log 2>/tmp/test.err &

it will not cancel the process which created by script. Read man nohup in EXAMPLES part.

Hi,

Use nohup to obtain it.

Syntax:
#nohup &
