Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SSH starting nohup'd process - not exiting Post 302326150 by sendchar on Wednesday 17th of June 2009 07:51:28 AM

redirecting input

You have to redirect input of the nohup'd process (</dev/null).

The ssh connects the local terminal's input/output/error with the remote process. So it won't release the connection until any process on the remote side holds a reference to the local input (and maybe output/error as well but I cannot confirm this).

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 /dev/null. 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. AUTHOR
