Remote Shell !

[Karunanidhi.S]

Hi all !
I want to start a process in remote machine using "remsh". But the catch is, even if I close the shell (or kill the shell)from which I start the process, the process should continue to run in the remote machine. Is that possible ? Your inputs please....

Regards,
S.Karunanidhi.

Don't know if this will help, but can you try to do it in the background?
i.e.

remsh &

Try using "nohup" (no hang up).
The -n option to "remsh" could also be valuable

[Victor BERRIDGE]

nohup should be used otherwise your process will be orphaned at exit

you can perform your request like this:

in the .rhosts on the user (remote one) home directory in the remote machine on which you are trying to start your process, add :

local_hostname username

then type:

remsh remote_machine -n "command " &

Why don't you create a script file and put this into the crontab

[Albert E. Whale, CISSP · Accepted solution]

Not only is it possible, but I highly recommend that if you start a process on a remote machine which is going to take any length of time that you add the keyword - nohup.

whatever string you use to start the command on the remote machine, preface it with the nohup command and it will ignore all normal interruptions.

Hope that helps!

try this

remsh "nohup command >/dev/null 2>&1 &" &
