Script with infinite loop stops after sometime
Hi
I am working on a server that is set up and maintained by a third party. It seems whenever I run bash scripts in the background (with a &) with while [ 1 ] loops in them they seem to me killed in around 2.5 hours. ( I am running them as a normal user with no special privileges ) . Is there a parameter that you ( the datacenter) can set that would cause this behaviour? There are application servers running which are owned by this very same user which continue to function regularly for days. Maybe I am making some mistake, but these are just regular while 1 loops which work fine for a sometime and then die.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.

The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-p password, --password=password
The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution!
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
-f file, --execfile=file
Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
