Re: Re:^2 Slightly OT - automating nohup bg jobs...

I'm not sure that nohup is sufficient though to completely close stdout and stderr. I think the shell you spawn on the remote machine is itself holding a copy of these open.

FWIW, I use zsh for my main shell, but almost always write scripts that are sh/ksh compatible since these are installed on almost every unix-like machine (and much more consistent than using csh).

My solution looks suspiciosly similar to the ssh FAQ in your updated node, and my answers almost never look like FAQ answers. :-) Though I don't remember copying it from there, my memory isn't what it used to be... bluto	[reply]
