Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to get a timestamp when running nohup & from a shell? Post 302905491 by newbie_01 on Wednesday 11th of June 2014 11:39:39 PM

Hi,

BTW, I tried as below

Create the following shell scripts.

data.ksh:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

date
timex cp -pr /copy/data /db/devdb
date

index.ksh:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

date
timex cp -pr /copy/index /db/devdb
date

Then I created a script called x.ksh as below:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
nohup data.ksh  & 1>data.ksh.out  2>&1
nohup index.ksh & 1>index.ksh.out 2>&1

Then I run x.ksh
I am hoping to get some output from the .out file but I got nothing

I tried running the nohup manually from the command line. Same result, i.e. blank .out files.

Or do I simply have the first & in the wrong place Smilie
