I use "nohup" all the time to run jobs when I'm in fear of losing my
connection.  It seems to work fine for me in Solaris 2.51/2.6.  I would
suggest that you make a shell script that looks something like this:

sqlplus -s /nolog<<EOF
connect username/password
...
{Insert Your SQL}
...
exit
EOF

This will avoid showing the username/password in the "ps -ef" command.

Also, you will need to start the script in the background for "nohup" to
have any impact:

nohup myscript &

Good luck.

Erik,

    In my experience a nohup will die with your terminal session.  Best bet
would be to use 'at'.

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!

Thanks
Erik
