background output
Question:
I run a script to check a filesystem or two and put it in the background vi a ssh session. Now, upon killing the window(ssh session) the script will of course keep running, BUT if I log back into the box via ssh how can I get the output of the script back to my ssh session/window?

Is this at all possible?

TIA,
BA

If you executed the process this way:
Code:
nohup myproc  &
without redirection, then nohup.out in the current directory has the output.

In your example, 'nohup' is supposed to be the name of the output file?...and 'myproc' is the script? This does not work so I must be missing something....the shell looks for nohup as a command.

no, 'nohup' is a command [man nohup].
the output of 'nohup myproc &' is file 'nohup.out'
