Question on background running job
Guys,
We use AIX 5.3 at our work place. I only in my team have a strange problem of not able run jobs background. Other colleagues are able to run without any problem.
Once I kick off background job using nohup and & command, It immediately stops. The following error I get when I run.
<<homedir>>run>nohup ksh -x data_compare.ksh &
[1] 133116
<<homedir>>run>>Sending nohup output to nohup.out.
[1] + Stopped (SIGTTOU) ksh -x data_compare.ksh &
It could be simple for you guys.
Appreciate your help.

Hiya,
Recently I've run a few scripts in the foreground, but have realised later they should of been better nohup'd and placed in the background. I understand how to change a foreground job into a background one, but how would put the job into the nohup state?

That was, after 'wrapping' tar and wget either, to display their growing size and return the exit code with a textual-visual-feedback to the user.

nohup
NOHUP(1) User Commands NOHUP(1)
NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
nohup OPTION
DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if
possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use
'nohup COMMAND > FILE'.
NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc-
umentation for details about the options it supports.
