Starting a remote process on unix

[liwenkuo]

Hello all,

I am trying to start a remote process on a unix box (a shell script that will kick of a Java program).

Rigth now, I can Telnet in and run the process. However this process is dependent and tied to my Telnet session. If I kill my Telnet session, then the java program shuts down too.

Is there a way to kick these processes off via Telnet (or some other method, without having be do it at the Unix box itself) so that it will run as an independent process on the unix box itself? (rlogin?/etc?).

Thanks
Li

Look at the "nohup" command (man nohup). This makes commands immune to hangups and writes to a non-tty creating a file for stdout called nohup.out. d3funct

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

Try [tt]nohup /your/command &[/tt].
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.
