I suspect that the OP just wants e.g.:
script.py&>/dev/null<&-
which will redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null and close stdin.
No, that's not what I wanted.
I ended up just running the script as a cron job. It was a one-off (well,
twice actually, since the first time demonstrated a bug in my code) test
of some code that tries to determine the size of the current terminal. I
wanted to ensure that it would do the right thing when run without a tty,
such as from a cron job.
In that case, the "at" command would have been the answer.
It is a bit like cron, but meant for one-off jobs.
You might have received more useful answers if you'd
mentioned you goals earlier.
