how to run a script with nohup via rcmd ??

[rie...@4com.de]

Hi,
I want to run a script on another host via rcmd, so i do a

rcmd host scriptname

but the rcmd never returns.

in the script, i start a process with nohup. (without this, everything
works fine!!)

When i interrupt the rcmd with ctrl-break, i get the output from the
process on my screen.

What did i wrong ???

Any hints ??

Thanks,

Jonas

The rcmd process waits for the remote end to close the stdin and
stdout descriptors that the rcmd set up for it.

You didn't redirect the output on the remote system. Try adding
to the top of your script (just after the #! line):
exec </dev/null > $HOME/script.log 2>&1

or do somethig like that :

rcmd host scriptname \< /dev/null \> /dev/null 2\>\&1 &
or
rcmd host "scriptname </dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &"

like this the job will run by its own on the otherside host
if you want to keep the rcmd connection open on your side
just do :

rcmd host -n scriptname &

did you read the manual of rcmd ? it's explained inside.
