I mean, I have a file which I am running in background, which has another job inside it to run in background. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hately, Mike (LogicaCMG) Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 6:11 PM To: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: nohup jobs Jack's correct. The first output "[1] 87" indicates that you have a backgrounded job. The "1" is your job number and the "87" is your UNIX process ID. At this point your rcp command is running in the background. The "[1] + Done nohup file1 >file1.out &" line indicates that your rcp command has completed. You will not receive this message until the backgrounded command has completed.

Returning the prompt is an almost instant job and that is wath you get confirmed Jack -----Original Message----- From: Kommareddy, Srinivas (MED, Wissen Infotech) [mailto:Srinivas.Kommareddy@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 12:54 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: nohup jobs Hi All, Could somebody explain me the behaviour of the following unix job: This job is copying the files from 1 server to another server using rcp: Syntax goes like this: rcp -r /u02/app/applmgr/common/inst1/* srvr2:/u02/app/applmgr/common/inst2/. & I put this in a file and chmod it to 755 and executed it in background. nohup file1 >file1.out & [1] 87 in the next moment it has comeout immediately. [1] + Done nohup file1 >file1.out & but the rcp went fine successfully. The question is why the job has come out stating Done eventhoug the rcp is running.
