Hi I am using ChannelExec for submitting a command to the remote server. This command usually takes a while to complete. In my code I have something like:
channelExec.waitFor(ClientChannel.CLOSED, timeout) I want to avoid this wait. I would like to submit a command as a background process and move forward without waiting for its completion. I tried using nohup <command> & as the command I submit but it did not help. I also tried removing channelExec.waitFor altogether but in that case, the command does not get executed on the remote server. Not sure why. Things work fine if I put an arbitrary timeout out of let's say 1 sec before submitting every command, for e.g. channelExec.waitFor(ClientChannel.CLOSED, 1000) Not sure if this is the right way and this seems fragile to me. Is it always necessary to wait for "channel closed " state for sometime to get the command executed? Regards Satya Deep
