Nohup immediately stops.

UNIX Solaris

I try and start a short script nohup the nohup immediately stops.
Here's the code

#!/bin/sh
rm backup.out
for i in `cat /home/xxxxx/Allservers.txt`

do
echo "Logging onto $i"
ssh -qt $i '/usr/local/bin/sudo "/src/bkupsa"'
done >>backup.out

Any ideas?

First of all don't use this approach: for i in `cat /home/xxxxx/Allservers.txt` . It is Useless Use of backticks.

Use while loop instead. Also use -n option with ssh to prevent it reading from stdin:

#!/bin/sh

rm backup.out
while read host
do
        echo "Logging onto $host"
        ssh -qtn $host '/usr/local/bin/sudo "/src/bkupsa"'
done < /home/xxxxx/Allservers.txt > backup.out

When I run the script I receive the following error:

Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.

Any more ideas?

Thanks!

When I tun the script nohup, it's great. No errors.

Works like a champ.

Remove -t option:

ssh -qn $host '/usr/local/bin/sudo "/src/bkupsa"'
