Hi,

But still my rcp is running.

Please see this:
(checked after 1 hr, the rcp is running, file count and size is growing)

applmgr 23825 1632 0 11:40:50 ? 0:44 /usr/lib/sunw,rcp -r -d -t /u02/app/applmgr/common/inst2/.

This is from target server, I checked.

Thanks and Regards,

Srinivas

The & on the rcp command says "run it in the background". the & at the end of the nohup command says run it in the background as well.

So the nohup submits the rcp to the background and finishes right away -- correctly for the way you have programmed it.

If you want the nohup to continue until the rcp finishes, remove the & from the rcp line
