I have been beating my head on a wall for two weeks and have googled til my fingers bled. I am running windows server 2003 with cygwin. I am attempting to get a bash script to continue to run in cygwin even after I have logged out. I have tried several different tactics. The most recent and closest to success has been using the “nohup” command. I am opening a cygwin bash window and typing the following: $ nohup mycommand.bash & The script runs in the background but the bash window stays open. When I log out or try to close the window I executed nohup from, I get the following error…… $ 3 [main] ? child_copy: cygheap read copy failed, 0x611688E0..0x611706D0m dibe 0, windows pid 0, Win32 error 5 1876 [main] bash 5072 child_copy: dll data read copy failed, 0x61102000..0x61106BA0, done 0, windows pid 5072, Win32 error 5 The window will stay up for a few minutes and then go away and the script that was running is now dead. I am not an expert by any means so any help regardless of elementary is appreciated. I know I am not the first squirrel to try to crack this nut so I figured I would toss this out in hopes some “big brain” would take notice and pity. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_allup_1a_explore_042009
