Why the nohup-ed background process always is "stopped" ?

meili100 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-26-2009

I let a script A call script B.
I used

Code:

 nohup a.sh &>/tmp/log &

In script A it calls B directly, without any redirecting or nohup or background.

However A is always "Stopped", while B is running correctly. Anybody knows why?
thanks!

-----Post Update-----

BTW, if I don't use nohup and backgrounding, it's OK. i.e. if I use

Code:

a.sh

directly. Everything is OK. I am totally confused.
