nohup and java patches

[Ng Hak Soon]

Hi,

using nohup and &, I found it doesn't
work sometimes, especially when I call
some java program in nohup. If I quit
from terminal, the process will quit.
But when I call other process such as
weblogic, or shell using nohup, nohup
works. So I am wondering why nohup
couldn't work always, how to solve it?

I just install some java patches for
close socket issue, are there any
relation?

My hp is 11.11, java is 1.3.1-08

thx

There are required patches prior to java installation.

You need these patches installed prior to the java install, though it may install anyway.

I'd do the patches for your OS and java version and then reinstall java and see if the behavior persists.

A search for nohup patches returned no results.

Correct me if I'm wrong true leaders here, nohup is a shell function?

Hi,

There is a bug fix for 1.4.0

The nohup(1) command was being ignored.

You have to register.

Hope it helps,
