Hi Amit,
I have also some problem using nohup at Solaris and I think
it is close to your one.
Previously I used DEC machine where nohup worked perfectly OK.
Now, in Solaris when I am running some process using
> nohup a.out &
It creates nohup.out at once, but does not write any thing before
gathering data of size 8192 (if the process is still running).
If process is terminated before getting that amount of data, in both cases
whether you killed the process yourself or it is killed due to some bug
during run, nohup.out remains empty.
Of course, if the process is killed when data size (s) is 8192 < s < 8192 * 2
you will get only first bulk of data of size 8192.
** Is there any way to get data inside nohup.out as soon as it create ?
This is the case in DEC machine.
** Then one can start using these data without waiting for the programme
to be finished !
** Then the problems of loosing data if the process is killed are
automatically solved.
Can you help me ? bye.
