Nohup command on Solaris
Hi,
I have a general question on using the "nohup" command. As far as I've got it, submmitting a job with no hang up specified, should result in the job running until completion, regardless of whether the session that submitted the job(parent) is still active. This is very helpful when doing support over a dail-in connection.
I have used this command many times on Dynix with no problems. But I have found that using it on Solaris is useless. A job will stop once the parent dies. Is this intended functionality? If so - how would you submit a job on Solaris, other than using the Crontab, if you know that the parent might die (lose connection)?

qrerun
qrerun(1B) PBS qrerun(1B)
NAME
qrerun - rerun a pbs batch job
SYNOPSIS
qrerun [-f] job_identifier ...
DESCRIPTION
The qrerun command directs that the specified jobs are to be rerun if possible.
To rerun a job is to terminate the session leader of the job and return the job to the queued state in the execution queue in which the job
currently resides.
If a job is marked as not rerunable then the rerun request will fail for that job. If the mini-server running the job is down, or the
rejects the request, the Rerun Job batch request will return a failure unless -f is used.
Using -f violates IEEE Batch Processing Services Std and should be handled with great care. It should only be used under exceptional cir-
cumstances. Best practice is to fix the problem mini-server host and letting qrerun run normally. The previous nodes may need manual
cleaning. See the -r option on the qsub and qalter commands.
OPERANDS
The qrerun command accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the form:
sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
STANDARD ERROR
The qrerun command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.
EXIT STATUS
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qrerun command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
If the qrerun command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
