Not a big deal as adding a "&" to the line in the script works just fine.On 7/6/2011 12:12 PM, Andy Koppe wrote:You can use the 'setsid' utility from the util-linux package to invoke a program in its own session, i.e. without connection to the terminal it is invoked from. For example:
setsid ssh -NL 1119:news.mozilla.org:119 \ -L 2119:news.gmane.org:119 \ -L 3119:nntp.perl.org:119 \ andrew@defaria.com
No need for 'nohup', redirections, backgrounding, or 'disown' with this.Actually I still need backgrounding as without it my ~/bin/tunnel just hangs on the setsid command...Hmm, I'm afraid I don't know why that happens when setsid is invoked from a script.
This returns immediately:
$ setsid sleep 10
As does this:
$ bash -c 'setsid sleep 10'
But this doesn't:
$ echo 'setsid sleep 10'> sleep.sh; bash sleep.sh
