AIX

Guys,

We use AIX 5.3 at our work place. I only in my team have a strange problem of not able run jobs background. Other colleagues are able to run without any problem.

Once I kick off background job using nohup and & command, It immediately stops. The following error I get when I run.

<<homedir>>run>nohup ksh -x data_compare.ksh &
[1] 133116
<<homedir>>run>>Sending nohup output to nohup.out.

[1] + Stopped (SIGTTOU) ksh -x data_compare.ksh &

It could be simple for you guys.

Appreciate your help.

"ksh -x" is a tracing device and will generate a lot of output presumably. Are you able to write to the file "nohup.out" with the userid you use to start this process?

Usually, if sending jobs to background and NOHUP-ing them, they are already tested and don't need extensive tracing any more, so consider changing the call to simply "yourfile.sh" instead of "ksh -x yourfile.sh". You can skip the mentioning of "ksh" too if the first line of your script reads "#!/bin/ksh" (or whateve you want to use as your command interpreter).

I hope this helps.

Well It was my mistake of posting the exact command ksh -x before nohup. Yes It is not necessary. but even without ksh -x, it just stops. Please notice error message where it says '+ Stopped(SIGHTTOU)'
I always get this error whenever i run any job without ksh -x or with

thanks for your reply.
