Oops, Bambi's email reminded me of another tip. In your sql script, put "exit" at the end. In my environment, without that the script doesn't die, but just keeps filling up the log file. Then the sys admin comes to visit. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would recommend you issue your command in the form: nohup sqlplus un/pw @script.sql > file.out 2>&1 & This will nohup it in case you get knocked off. Both the standard output and standard error will be sent to "file.out". In you SQL script you may want to "set echo on" so you get each command echoed. One issue to consider is that in some Unix environments all parameters are visible to anyone that does a "ps". If that is a concern, and you don't already have a solution in your environment, there are some well-tested solutions. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 1:13 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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!
