Syntacticly that's three command. A semicolon is like a newline, so its as though you've typed: nohup cmd 1 cmd2 cmd3 Since nohup expects one command, you need one command. SInce you want three, invoke the shell as your command: nohup sh -c 'cmd1; cmd2; cmd3' Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <[email protected]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. - Benjamin Disraeli -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
