Not a UNIX expert but I think the & at the end tells it to return the prompt and run in the background. Returning the prompt is an almost instant job and that is wath you get confirmed

Subject: nohup jobs

Hi All,

Could somebody explain me the behaviour of the following unix job:

This job is copying the files from 1 server to another server using rcp:

Syntax goes like this:

rcp -r /u02/app/applmgr/common/inst1/*
srvr2:/u02/app/applmgr/common/inst2/. &

I put this in a file and chmod it to 755 and executed it in background.

nohup file1 >file1.out &
[1] 87

in the next moment it has comeout immediately.

[1] +  Done                      nohup file1 >file1.out &

but the rcp went fine successfully.

The question is why the job has come out stating Done eventhoug the rcp is running.

Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas
