Usage of NOHUP - How to keep the child process running even if I close the Server connection
Hi. !
When I use the 'NOHUP' along with the '&', the process will be running in the background. Even when I attempt to close (Meaning 'EXIT') the session (say PUTTY in this case), it wont exit unless the process is completed.
But, say when I forcefully terminate the session (SHUT DOWN the machine). In this case, all the child processes will be terminated and the parent process will continue.
What I need is that, even though I forcefully terminate the session, I need both the CHILD and PARENT processes to run and complete successfully.
Exact Scenario: I'm running a UNIX (Parent) shell which in turn calls an ORACLE (Child) session. When I run it with ‘NOHUP' and ‘&' and terminate the session forcefully, the ORACLE session will terminate and will give to control to the UNIX session, which will run the remaining UNIX operation.
I don't want this to happen. Even though I forcefully terminate the session, I need both the ORACLE (Child) and UNIX (parent) session to run and complete normally.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Barani

DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.

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.
