Thanks carrol,
Your logic makes sense. Also the solution is working just fine ..
I also opened the std o/p along with the stdin as u had suggested.
May be the application is internally trying to write to stdout and if its
finding that the
terminal is closed its commiting a suicide,
Regds,

Subject RE: How to detatch a process from the terminal
:
Perhaps your process needs to see an input stream (stdin) and is dying when
stdin closes.
I'm not sure this is happening under nohup, but it's worth a try.
Try:
#nohup ./startserver.sh & < /dev/null
I had a problem similar to this years ago trying to run:
"shutdown -y -g0 -i6" on sun machines via rsh after installing new application
code.
As soon as I added "< /dev/null" the machines started rebooting as I wanted.

Subject: How to detatch a process from the terminal
Hi everybody,
I am running an application as a daemon.
This need to keep running in the background. I started this
through a shell script after setting up the environmental variables there.
The application is running just fine till I am keeping the session open.
But as soon as I close the session, the application gets killed.
I tried a lots of permutations --running as different user( even troot user),
different environment settings,
starting from the console etc ..and using nohup command too, but to no
advantage.
I am connecting to the server through a SSH connection from my desktop.
And to start the server I fire it like the following:
#nohup ./startserver.sh &
Can anybody help there.
Here is the output of ps -ef |grep .. command:
root 5890 5883 0 11:56:04 pts/5 0:23 /usr/j2se/bin/..
I feel that the entry "pts5" is the culprit. the process is getting attatched to
this tele-terminal and hence
getting killed as soon as I close my window.
REgds,
RCP
