You have running jobs

[FTSE SysAdmin]

Hi,

I'm getting a bit rusty but when a "nohup command &" goes to background shouldn't remain in background without conection to the tty?

To allow to execute commands without the need of terminal. But everytime that I type nohup and then I try to exit I'm getting "You have running jobs"

I might have missed something like env variable or something but I can't find a solution for it.

Would someone know how to fork a command with nohup that allows the user to quit his session without canceling the forked command? Thanks

Regards

That is just a message. Even if you exit after this message, your jobs will still be running in the background.

You are doing it correctly, the message you are getting is just an informational message telling you you have jobs running in the background.
Remember that any output that would normally be sent to sdout or sderror should be redirected for a job run wiht nohup and put in background.
