Running at command - Parent script getting killed
I have a script that calls another script within it that takes about 1 hour to execute. I am noticing that the parent script that calls the child script is getting killed. Does anyone know why? The child script still runs.

Looks like you are "exec"ing the child script, which replaces the parent shell.

Have you wait for the child process?

This only happens when I run the job as a scheduled job. If I run the parent script by itself without scheduling it, the script works fine.
