The 'screen' utility would be a better choice IMO. Simple to install and use. It allows you to start a process on a virtual terminal, and then detach and reattach the virtual terminal from clients at any location.
Also very handy if you are running processes on a unix box via a terminal emulator on a PC. If you're PC crashes your processes are still running in the virtual terminal. http://www.gnu.org/directory/screen.html Jared Erik Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/04/02 11:12 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: NOHUP SQLPLUS I am going to be executing a long running job this weekend from home. I am going to VPN into the corp network and telnet to the server. I am affraid of loosing my telnet terminal session and the job dying mid way through. The plan is to use 'nohup sqlplus system/***** @long_running.sql'. Has anyone used this or run into issues using it? Every time I assume something will 'just work', IT DOESNT!
