How do I start a background process

[trolley]

I am trying to start a process in the background on a remote system. However, when I logout the process stops. The process is started in the background at system startup. However, when we need to troubleshoot, we stop and then need to restart without restarting the File Server.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

This depends on the process, but in general, this should do the trick:

# nohup {name of process and optional arguments} &

There are a couple of processes which will still get "stuck" on the port you are currently logged onto (visionfs is one of those).

The "nohup" prevents the background process from ending when you log out.
