Hi,
I am kinda confused with this, am not sure what is happening
i have a script say test.sh
----------
cat myfile | while read line
do
exit 2
done
echo "out of loop"
-----------
as it is evident, the exit should cause the script to terminate ,hence producing no output for the script.
now when i run the script as "./test.sh", the behaviour is as expected.
but when i run it with nohup as "nohup ./test.sh &", the "out of loop" statement appears in the output, indicating that the exit just gets it outside the loop but does not exit the program.
any ideas on this ?
