Allow nohup background running

[maaaaz]

Hello there,

Currently, on Linux, if you try to run ODD in an unattended way, for instance with nohup, it does not work at all, the following message is returned:

Console input is redirect, maybe it is run inside another host. This could mean that no input will be send/processed.

Could you allow such capacity ?

Cheers!

Hi,

I have never heard of this. How do you start/use it? What is the purpose?

[maaaaz]

You use it like this nohup <command> & in order to have the command being run without any shell attached.

It is usually used for long-running tasks.
