Nohup over ssh won't return
I am trying to do
[me@myPc]$ ssh me@server "nohup myBashScript.sh &"
My goal is to launch the process on the server, and then immediately return.
It is not working: The job is started on server, but I still get the output on myPc and bash wait for completion prior to asking me for another command.
Why ? It's not supposed to ! Any way to avoid that ?
- myPc is
RHEL6.2 - server is
ubuntu 10.04and - both runs
openssh
Solution 1:
As long as input or output are still open, ssh will keep the connection open. To solve this, make sure the input and output are not open.
For instance, use ssh -n and redirect your output:
ssh -n [email protected] "nohup myscript.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
