I am researching nohup (and how to do it) but if you have time, an explanation would be great. I also don't understand what you mean about the delimit part. are you talking about the

$result =`psexec \\\\$host -u carynt\\rdcadmin -p 2backup! $racadm get
+sysinfo 2>&1`;
[download]

if I remove the extra '\' it doesn't work. thanks!
