This sounds totally reasonable and it appears to solve my problem. But why is it that I don't need nohup to start this service (jboss) when I am running from a logged-in shell? And I don't need to use nohup in order to start services like mysql using 'run'. They start just fine as
run "/sbin/service mysql start" When I try Drew's suggestion below (with or without the &) sh -c \"/sbin/service jboss start &\" I see the same problem as before. Only nohup seems to help. I also at one point had nohup in the script itself on the server and that didn't seem to work either. At this point I am happy that things are working and I'm just trying to figure out where the gaps in my knowledge are. These particular ones... Perhaps this is too entangled to comprehend.
