Question about batched commands
Hi everyone
I am a newbbie in the linux enviroment. My problem is:
I have tried to use the at command to compile and keep running a program and close the terminal window.
Every time I use the at command I get the next error
"Can't open /var/run/atd.pid to signal atd. No atd running?"
After google this phrase I have found I have to activate the atd, to activate it I need to be the root user (or at least the root's password).
As I don't know the root password I can not activate it.
Is there an alternative way to keep the program running once I close the terminal window?
Thanks in advence for your help.
