nohup not working
Hi,
I am working in SunOS 5.8.
I wanted to run a script in background and I gave the following command, but it is not working.
I gave "nohup ksh ULOAD.ksh &"
It just came out giving a msg "Redirection or piping of stdin or stdout is allowed only with -b. (156)" in nohup.out file.
If I just try "ksh ULOAD.ksh &" without nohup it is working fine.
Can you tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,

single file, called a shell script. To run the script using

setting execute permission on file. The script can also be run in the background with interrupts ignored (see sh(1)):
