No I was saying that if you were using screen, then you don't need to put nohup before the command and you don't need to put after the command. Btw, Brian K. White, that looks familiar.

Re: Run rsync even not connected
it has not been mentioned: nohup ! screen is a bit complicated if you never used it. It only makes sense if you want to check back later and see life what is going on. at or cron would be my last restort. nohup would be my choice nohup (you command and options) Example: x@x:~ nohup ls -la [1] 12865 x@x:~ nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out' [1]+ Donenohup ls -la You can do a tail -f on nohup.out after you started the job to see what it would output on the screen. Other example: nohup (your command and options) log.rsync 21 will output stdout and stderr to the log.rsync regards, Joachim Otahal Chris Arnold schrieb: I hopethis hope this makes sense.

Sent from my iPhone Well, vnc is already itself one way, it just depends how you have vncserver, xvnc, and your desktop session set up and how you are disconnecting. It's possible to disconnect from a vnc session without closing the desktop session. In that case rsync wouldn't stop any more than any other thing running in that session. nohup or screen are the usual answers for this though, not just for rsync or vnc. If you don't care about seeing the output while it's running: nohup someprogram options... The output is written to nohup.out by default so you can tail -f thatto check ongoing progress or cat/less it later when all done. Myself I like to use screen. screen -S foo That doesn't look like it did anything but it did. You are now in a screen session named foo. You can put whatever you want for foo it's just a name you make up for the session so that it's easier to recognize and reconnect to later. So in this case you might say screen -S rsync or screen -S rsync_targetmachine Now just run the rsync command. no nohup, no . Now rsync is chugging along, press ctrl-a then d to detach from the screen session. rsync is still running in that screen session, just you are no longer attached to that screen session. Now you can log out, go somewhere else, connect back from somewhere else, get a new shell, list all screen sessions: screen -ls you'll likely only have the one you created unless it's a multiuser system and someone else uses screen. It'll say chris 24371.foo To reattach to that session: scree -r foo Now you'll either see the ongoing rsync, or you'll see the final summary messages and a new shell prompt. If rsync is still running, just ctrl-a d again. If rsync is done and you're done with that screen session, you should type exit at the shell prompt from within the screen session, (instead of pressing ctrl-a d to detach) that will exit that shell and close and destroy the screen session. You'll be back at the parent shell and screen -ls will show no sessions. man/google nohup and gnu screen -- bkw -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
