It's /bin/bash. Damn, this actually seems inconsistent. I did a fresh login and background jobs with output to stdout aren't hanging. Oh wait, one just did. It started fine... msoul...@anton:~$ backup_pa.sh & [1] 15388 msoul...@anton:~$ Backup up remote dirs etc/httpd usr/local/etc git var/www home/pawsitiveapproach to local file pa_backup.20091107.tar.gz... msoul...@anton:~$ jobs [1]+ Running backup_pa.sh & and then [1]+ Stopped backup_pa.sh but if I bring it to the foreground... msoul...@anton:~$ fg backup_pa.sh Hmm, it doesn't seem to be running actually, it looks like it's still sleeping... All it's doing is running a remote tar over ssh. My "at" jobs tend to hang for the same reason, but only on that box. I can't explain it, and I don't know what would control that. Mike -- Michael P.
