The message is in case you really WANT to stop those jobs running in the background. Since you don't, you're fine. You can check the file nohup.out, which will be created in the directory you were in when you issued the nohup command and you can see the output that would have been displayed to the screen Rachel --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Erik, > > In my experience a nohup will die with your terminal session. > Best bet > would be to use 'at'. > > Dick Goulet > > ____________________Reply Separator____________________ > Author: Erik Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2/4/2002 11:12 AM > > 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.
