Running the Script in Background.
Gurus,

Pls. help on this to run the script in background.
I have a script to run the informatica workflows using PMCMD in script.

Say the script name is test.sh & Parameters to the script is Y Y Y Y

The no of parameters to the bove script is 4. all are going to be a flags. Each flag will run different workflows in informatica thru PMCMD. Based on the status of the first flag (i.e informatica Workflow) it will run the next thru the 2nd flag and so on......

Now the script is working fine when i run it like sh test.sh Y Y Y Y

This takes more than 2 hours. Is there any possibility to run it in background???

I checked with sh test.sh Y Y Y Y &
It is not working fine.

Experts pls share your thoughts to fix this issue.

nohup test.sh Y Y Y Y 2&>1 > ./logfile &

GNU screen is another option in this case

in my opinion, using screen is more suitable for this particular task. why?
