Bambi & all,

    Most times I will agree a nohup will disconnect from the terminal and keep
on trucking.  But there has been more than one occasion when I've had a nohup
misbehave for some very screwy reasons, most wrapped around the process's desire
to do screen/terminal IO.  My other basic reason for disliking nohup is that my
scripts, especially the long running ones have markers therein that I want to be
able to check up on periodically.  Therefore, if I'm going to do something like
this I tend to use a package like, and actually is, VNC from AT&T.  Works fine,
seems to last, and does not loose your session information.

Run in background with the & and you shouldn't have a terminal problem
(others are certainly possible).

Try 'nohup sqlplus system/***** @long_running.sql &'

Test this of course with another procedure before you it's a do or die
situation.

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
