Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear,

I have a script to start tomcat. I post here the main part of that script - called mytomcat.bash

Code:

function start() 
{
    shift
    trap "" HUP
    /usr/local/java/bin/java  [some_options] \ org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start 2>&1 | /usr/local/httpd/bin/rotatelogs /usr/local/catalina/logs/catalina.log 86400 &
}

It run well:

Code:

./mytomcat.bash start

But the terminal will hang when i exit.

I tried with nohup like this:

Code:

nohup ./mytomcat.bash start &

It's can release the terminal.

But I want to use nohup inside my script, I tested with this:

Code:

 nohup /usr/local/java/bin/java  [some_options] \   org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start 2>&1 | /usr/local/httpd/bin/rotatelogs /usr/local/catalina/logs/catalina.log 86400 &

I doesn't release the terminal.

Anyone can help?

Thank you.

any idea are welcome.

fongthai,

Do not bump your thread to the top without reason - Everybody wants to get their thread seen and the forums do move quickly but please don't bump your thread to the top of the forum for no reason as it pushes other peoples threads off the board unfairly.

You can bump your thread if you are adding new information (more than a single line) or if you are adding another mod to the collection. Bumps solely for the purpose of moving the thread to the top of the page are not allowed.

Regards
