NOHUP not working

Hello All,

Here is a problem of NOHUP.

I am trying to run a process which needs to be up and running even if the session is closed. I tried running it with "nohup", but starngely it is not working, when i exit from the session the process is also getting killed?

plz help me in finding out the cause?

I am running my process under SUN Solaris and using a KSH.

I am running my procees with the below command.

    > nohup process_name &

and i get this at the command prompt after firing the above command, "Sending output to nohup.out". It is even creating nohup.out file.

please help me in running a process independet of session. is there any other way that prevents a process from receiving HANGUP signal?

Please help, any help would be thankful.

Try running it from a shell without job control, such as 'sh'.

Thanks .....That was really great information....now it is working....

thank u so much...

Cool.

Porter, just curious - why would job control make a difference on whether nohup works?
