running jobs on the background
 

I've got a question, i normally ssh to different computational servers here to run my jobs, i have a job now it will run estimately for 6 days, normally if i open up a terminal and ran anything off the server, the process will be terminated as well as I end the session, some of my friends suggested using "at" to run job at a scheduled time, well i am lazy to learn how to use "at", is there any other easier way? (& won't work, have tried)

Hi,

Take a look at nohup.
This runs a command, immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the answer, i will give it a try sometimes,
my friend actually came to help me out with "at"
simply and it worked beautifully

Hi,

It's nice to read you got it working.

Do give nohup a try, it's easier then at (nohup <script>).
