Version: 20140722 OS: Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS,64bit When I start a job using the following command
cat *.lines | parallel -j-2 --eta --joblog log_file & Rscript ../Get_Length.R BM O1.ap > O1.ap.min Rscript ../Get_Length.R BM O5.ap > O5.ap.min .... are the commands in the *lines file job immediatly stops and even after putting the job in background using "bg", it stops again. after "fg" the job resumes again. I also faced a problem while starting a nohup parallel job, as it does not run in background. (Same job with nohup) Parallel runs smoothly with ampersend(in foreground). What am I missing here ?
