(12:13) ( pronoy) hi everyone, How to use nohup and &, with the execution of a perl script
(12:17) ( dayid) yes.
(12:18) ( pronoy) dayid ?
(12:18) ( dayid) pronoy: ?
(12:19) ( pronoy) dayid ? i thought you were yes *ing me
(12:22) ( dayid) yes
(12:22) ( dayid) you can use nohup with &
(12:23) ( pronoy) dayid "perl script"
(12:23) ( dayid) pronoy: yes
(12:24) ( pronoy) dayid ...type the complete command plz
(12:24) ( dayid) perl, python, ksh, etc
(12:24) ( dayid) nohup "perl script" &
(12:25) ( dayid) nohup pythonthing.py &
(12:25) ( dayid) nohup shellscript.sh &
(12:25) ( pronoy) to execute the script i have to call the compiler
(12:25) ( pronoy) so...
(12:25) ( pronoy) its like this....... perl <scriptname.PL>
(12:26) ( dayid) ok
(12:27) ( dayid) same thing
(12:28) ( pronoy) i tried it like this
(12:28) ( pronoy) nohup perl irc_bot1.PL &
(12:28) ( dayid) yes
(12:28) ( pronoy) and the error i get is nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out'
(12:29) ( dayid) that's not an error
(12:29) ( dayid) that's how nohup works when you don't specify a place for output
(12:29) ( dayid) see manpage
(12:30) ( dayid) If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is appended to the file nohup.out in the current
                 directory.  If standard error is a ter- minal, it is directed to the same place as the standard output.
(12:30) ( dayid) what do you not grasp at this point?
(12:31) ( pronoy) dayid the fact that the script is not executed
(12:35) ( pronoy) dayid ?
(12:35) ( dayid) it is
(12:36) ( pronoy) my script is not being executed
(12:36) ( dayid) unless it is broken in some manner elsewhere, but that has nothing to do with nohup or backgrounding it
(12:36) ( dayid) ok, then its broken
(12:36) ( pronoy) dayid works fine without nohup and & dude
(12:36) ( pronoy) obviously not broke
(12:38) ( dayid) a) either your script is broken or b) your shell is broken
(12:38) ( pronoy) dayid oh cmon !
(12:39) ( dayid) That is the correct answer
(12:39) ( dayid) as I said prior:
(12:39) ( pronoy) shell ? zomg
(12:39) ( pronoy) dude....
(12:39) ( dayid) (12:24) ( dayid) perl, python, ksh, etc
(12:39) ( dayid) (12:24) ( dayid) nohup "perl script" &
(12:39) ( dayid) (12:25) ( dayid) nohup pythonthing.py &
(12:39) ( dayid) (12:25) ( dayid) nohup shellscript.sh &
(12:39) ( dayid) (12:27) ( dayid) same thing
(12:40) ( pronoy) forget it
(12:40) ( pronoy) i'll figure out a way
(12:40) ( dayid) lol, k
(12:42) ( pronoy) dayid you were right
