sudo -u fabuser ./dailyEasiRestart.sh rdsprd &
[5] 25655
-bash-4.2$ ps -ef| grep fabuser
root     22479 57230  0 18:52 pts/0    00:00:00 sudo -u fabuser ./dailyEasiRestart.sh rdsv
root     23237 57230  0 18:55 pts/0    00:00:00 sudo -u fabuser ./dailyEasiRestart.sh rdsv

It does not run in the background because it wants to read something from the terminal (stdin or direct tty).
With the fg command you can move one of the bg jobs to the foreground (and maybe enter something or give it a Ctrl-D).

Without knowing the script I cannot say where exactly the waiting occurs.

Hi

Since we all can read your computer its files, we know exactly what the cause is.
Not!

Please share the code of the script (in code tags -> advanced post/reply).
Otherwise we cant help.
