I thought maybe it was just a coincidence, so I tried it a few more times, and still it does the same thing.
So I figured I would just implement this one and just subtract 1 from the PID it gives me to
get the real PID, but I then tried this same thing on an AIX server and the actual PID was completely random. So
I decided not to do that (probably wouldn't have been a good idea anyway)...
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a better way to get this PID (without doing the 'ps -ef | grep ...')..??
Are you backgrounding the task with a "&" or not? The command just posted does not contain "&".
If you are not backgrounding the process, the value of "$!" is irrelevant in this context.
In my original question I posted both Operating Systems that I have been testing on (i.e. SLES 11.1 (Bash v3.2.51) -and- AIX 6 (KSH))...
I guess I should have made it a little more noticeable, sorry about that...
Also, on the AIX one I have installed Bash version 3.2.16(1), which is what I've been using to write my scripts.
Thanks for your suggestion I'll give it a try and post back...
Also, before that, I wanted to mention that I'm ssh'ed into the SLES server and opened up my script using:
As you can see it actually worked this time!
This leads me to believe that possibly another "background process" (or something like that) is begin started when
I issue the command to start the Daemon...?
Does this sound like a possibility..?
Thanks Again,
Matt

Hello Again,
I just tried your command (with the 'nohup') and still getting the same results.
Here is the exact output when issuing those commands:
So I'm guessing there is something weird going on within that command when I execute it...
I'm thinking of just starting the Daemon from within a Bash script, then within that script
just find the PID after it's started and write it to a file...

I let a script A call script B.
I used
nohup a.sh &>/tmp/log &
In script A it calls B directly, without any redirecting or nohup or background.
However A is always "Stopped", while B is running correctly. Anybody knows why?
thanks!
