session timeout for shell script

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I am executing test.sh script. But this script takes lot of time and in the meantime the shell timeouts without completing the script.
Is there any command which will continue processing the script.

Thanks

you can try "nohup test.sh &" - that would run the test.sh in backgroud and "nohup" will help it run even if the session is closed.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but my question is very much related.

When I tried

nohup script.ksh &

A process id is displayed at the terminal, followed by another message,

Stopped.. Not a Terminal

What does it mean by "Not a Terminal"? The default log file nohup.out also contained the text "Not a Terminal"

How do I make the script run in nohup mode now?

I would try to check if there is any issue with my script. It should NOT be waiting for any input from stdin nor should it display the output to stdout.
