that's just what it should be doing. like Rachel said, you submitted it to
the background with the "&" at the end of the command line. so it runs in
the background. the problem is you *ALSO* submitted the nohup job to the
background with the "&" at the end it *IT'S* command line. so it goes like
this:
--nohup job starts in the background
--it submits the rcp job in the background
--rcp job returns control to the nohup job
--nohup job is done [it submitted the rcp job and got control back]
--it returns "Done" and control to the foreground process.
to have the nohup job run until the rcp job finishes you have to either:
1) remove the "&" from the end of the nohup command line
or
2) remove the "&" from the rcp job command line
doing either of the above will ensure that control is not returned to the
controlling process until the job is finished.
