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?

Should the user jobs specified in crontab be running in background?

While working on TUI for scripts, there there came the idea to' add a command' for dd too.

GEARMAN_JOB_STATUS(3) 1 GEARMAN_JOB_STATUS(3)
GearmanClient::jobStatus - Get the status of a background job
Object oriented style (method):
SYNOPSIS
public array GearmanClient::jobStatus (string $job_handle)
DESCRIPTION
Gets the status for a background job given a job handle. The status information will specify whether the job is known, whether the job is
currently running, and the percentage completion.
PARAMETERS
o $job_handle
- The job handle assigned by the Gearman server
RETURN VALUES
An array containing status information for the job corresponding to the supplied job handle. The first array element is a boolean indicat-
ing whether the job is even known, the second is a boolean indicating whether the job is still running, and the third and fourth elements
correspond to the numerator and denominator of the fractional completion percentage, respectively.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Monitor the status of a long running background job
<?php
/* create our object */
$gmclient= new GearmanClient();
/* add the default server */
$gmclient->addServer();
/* run reverse client */
$job_handle = $gmclient->doBackground("reverse", "this is a test");
if ($gmclient->returnCode() != GEARMAN_SUCCESS)
{
echo "bad return code
";
exit;
}
$done = false;
do
{
sleep(3);
$stat = $gmclient->jobStatus($job_handle);
if (!$stat[0]) // the job is known so it is not done
$done = true;
echo "Running: " . ($stat[1] ? "true" : "false") . ", numerator: " . $stat[2] . ", denomintor: " . $stat[3] . "
";
}
while(!$done);
echo "done!
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Running: true, numerator: 3, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 6, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 9, denomintor: 14
Running: true, numerator: 12, denomintor: 14
Running: false, numerator: 0, denomintor: 0
done!
