Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: NOHUP SQLPLUS
Bambi,
This does not work with some Third party software (e.g. IBM: ADSM/TSM). Some
prgrams will capture tty nonetheless and will terminate if the session from
the tty goes away.
So I always use a wrapper shell script with a 'sleep' in it..
I was under the impression that 'nohup <command> &' was universally true..
and have used it without any problems for years on almost all flavors of
UNIX... till I started working with some 'smart' software...
Regards,
- Kirti

You're kidding. If you do
nohup <command> &
it should stay up indefinitely. Nohup stands for "no hang up" which would have been, in the old days if your terminal timed out and the connection was severed over the phone line. Using nohup would guarantee your job ran to completion. The trick is to run it in background. That's what the ampersand does for you.
I've run really long and complicated stuff via nohup and never had a problem. If you have, then I suppose we should say which OSs it worked on and which it didn't. I've run nohup without problem on AIX, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, 88Open and Irix.
HTH,
Bambi.
