How to use 'nohup' and 'at' commands collectively?
I have a unix script named 'test1' and it can be run using parameters say a, b and c. i.e. the command would be
Code:
test1 -a -b -c

this script gives the output in the log file as
Code:
script started
start time: 10.22 pm 7 april
end time: 10.30 pm 7 april
script finished

Now, i want to run this batch at some later time. say i want to run it at 2:00 am in the night when no one is there in the office. so i am giveing the command as
Code:
nohup at -f `test1 -a -b -c` 2 am 08april

I fire this command and close the session. The next day when i come to the office I see that the log file is showing me below output
Code:
script started
start time: 10.22pm 7 april

Thus the script starts as soon as fired and it stops running as soon as i close the session.

please help me in resolving this. please also let me know if my issue is not clear.

regards,
Swapnil

lsmsad

lsmsad(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 lsmsad(8)

NAME

       lsmsad - Starts the Storage Administrator (SA) daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/lsmsad

DESCRIPTION

       The SA daemon, lsmsad, is a process required by lsmsa, the SA graphical user interface (GUI). The daemon issues commands and obtains system
       information on behalf of SA.

       The SA daemon runs on a Tru64 UNIX system on which LSM is initialized and running.  The SA client runs on any  machine  that  supports  the
       Java Runtime Environment.

       The SA daemon is automatically started at boot time. Under normal conditions, the daemon does not need to be run manually.

       If SA does not start during the boot process, enter:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa stop

       To restart SA, enter:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa start

       Only one SA daemon can be running on a system at a given time. If a second SA daemon attempts to start, it will fail.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be root user to run lsmsad.

FILES

       The script that starts lsmsad at boot time.  The command log file that tracks SA tasks.	The access log file that tracks login to  SA.  The
       server log file that tracks server startup information and server errors.  The log maintenance shell script that saves and  compresses  log
       files.
