Question sleep 10 && command doesn't work
Hi there,
I found a trick to easily postpone a command by a few seconds:
Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && command &
If you logout, the command should still be executed... But not all the time.
Could anyone of you explain me why the following command is executed even after logging out:
Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && touch somefile &
and not that one:
Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/networking force-reload &
Thanks in advance
Santiago
