nohup question

[intp]

nohup credit_bal.sh $1 & > crbal_status.log

on executing above statement , i get a message "Output will be sent to nohup.out"
and expects user input ( meaning enter key or any key press). But job runs in background.

How to eliminate this message ? when i execute the aboe the statement it should start the job in background and return to prompt without showing any message.

HELP..thanks.

nohup credit_bal.sh $1 > crbal_status.log &

If input is expected then you also need to redirect stdin.

You should re-direct the error channel too, like

# nohup credit_bal.sh $1 1>crbal_status.log &

the messages "Output will be sent to nohup.out" is now in crbal_status.log, the output of your command is in nohup.out.

[Torsten.]

# nohup credit_bal.sh $1 2>crbal_status.log &


of course.
