You can use this:
To give each job its own output file. nohup.out is not being used then..
Just adding to it,
if the file is immediately modified by another process, then timestamp can't be modified.
Instead, along with nohup process write a sequent process that just creates a hidden file to know the time stamp later. I know this is hacky and dirty way but just a quick and easy way to do that.
I try to run a script as background job.

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?

Hi,
The HPCs I used earlier used PBS (Portable Batch System) to schedule when I was running various jobs and it had an option to send me an email once a job is completed.
I'm wondering whether this is possible for any other process (without the use of PBS). For example, I'm running some codes... (2 Replies)
I'm running diff at the command prompt against two very large text files (>1GB) and system kills the process and replys back "Terminated" after 15 seconds.
I believe a system parameter needs to be adjusted but can't figure it out.

nohup
NOHUP(1) BSD General Commands Manual NOHUP(1)NAME
nohup -- invoke a command immune to hangups
SYNOPSIS
nohup utility [arg ...]
DESCRIPTION
The nohup command allows the specified utility to be protected from termination if the user should become logged out (for example, due to a
modem line or TCP/IP connection being dropped). To do this, nohup sets the SIGHUP signal(3) (``terminal line hangup'') to be ignored, then
executes utility along with any arguments.
If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is appended to the file nohup.out in the current directory. If standard error is a
terminal, it is directed to the same place as the standard output. If the output file nohup.out cannot be created in the current directory,
nohup attempts to create the file in the user's home directory. If the file nohup.out cannot be created, either in the current directory or
the user's home directory, nohup will exit without invoking utility, with an exit value as described below.
ENVIRONMENT
The following variable is used by nohup.
HOME User's home directory.
EXIT STATUS
The nohup utility exits with one of the following values:
126 The utility was found but could not be invoked.
127 The utility could not be found or an error occurred in nohup.
Otherwise, the exit status of nohup will be that of utility.
SEE ALSO signal(3)STANDARDS
The nohup command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
