SSH remote command withouth output

Ricio · 10-19-2008, 09:09 PM

Hello all,

I want to run a script on a remote host with ssh, the script takes a long time, so I dont want ssh to show me the output of the command, I just want to run it, get my local prompt back, and leave it run it remotely...

How can that be done?

I use "at" for that, as in

at -f script.file now

Another way is

nohup command &

You might want to consider the 'screen' command as it would suit your needs very well.

the at command works perfect for what I want to do... Thank you all...

but now I would like the script to print in the screen when everything is done... could be either the remote host or local one...

How could that be done??

Might try using the ampersand to release your SSH prompt and redirecting the output to a file on the remoete machine,

Code:

$ XYZ.sh > Results.txt &

Good Luck with your project
