When I execute the following gzip in FOR loop on DIR q, then it works as expected - all .sh files will be gziped.
Code:
for i in q/*.sh ; do gzip $i; done
Code:
# ls -al q

However, when I execute this same in a background, I will get errors and no .sh files will be gziped.
Code:
nohup bash -c "for i in q/*.sh ; do gzip $i; done" &
Code:
# cat nohup.out
gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory

gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory
gzip: q/working.sh.gz: No such file or directory
Does anyone know why it is not working?
