You're kidding. If you do

nohup <command> &

it should stay up indefinitely. Nohup stands for "no hang up" which would have been, in the old days if your terminal timed out and the connection was severed over the phone line. Using nohup would guarantee your job ran to completion. The trick is to run it in background. That's what the ampersand does for you.

I've run really long and complicated stuff via nohup and never had a problem. If you have, then I suppose we should say which OSs it worked on and which it didn't. I've run nohup without problem on AIX, HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, 88Open and Irix.

HTH,
Bambi.

Erik,

In my experience a nohup will die with your terminal session. Best bet would be to use 'at'.

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
