Launch application in background
Hi,
I would launch a script in background.
I've tried in this way:

Quote:
./startPFSCoordinator.sh &
But it doesn't work.
The sh launch a java application.
How can I solve?
Thanks, bye bye.

What does it do when you try to run the script that way? Also, is there any output if you run the "jobs" command after trying to run the script?

Yes, there is output.

What is the output? It would be helpful if you could copy and paste the relevant parts of your shell session.

The output is:

How can I solve?
Thansk, bye bye.

Try:

Code:
./startPFSCoordinator.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Yes, the shell has been released. See the prompt in your post:

Quote:
[gaia_user@server04 PFSCoordinator_0.8]$ ./startPFSCoordinator.sh &
[4] 1127
[gaia_user@server04 PFSCoordinator_0.8]$ *** Default environment assumed ***
But the process is writing to its controlling terminal, so you still see it in your shell. You could still enter commands and they'd run, you'd just have a hard time seeing them.

As verdepollo posted, just redirect the output from your command.
