    It still depends what you are doing with the system command. For example, if the system command submits a job which is automatically distributed to the cluster, then you need to expand the command to detach itself from the parent, e.g. nohup command > logfile 2>&1 &

    But if the system command fails to distribute to the cluster then go back to my original suggestion for initing a cluster process instead of using the system command.

    -M

    Free your mind
