Bud, try
echo "dsmc schedule 1> /dev/null 2>&" | at now instead of nohup. Steffan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brown, Bud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 6:38 AM Subject: Nohup Scheduler Service. Anybody, I am trying to get the scheduler service to run in the background and to continue running after a logout. My TSM server is ver. 4.1.4.1 and AIX 4.3.3, my tsm b-a client is 4.1.4 on a Unix Tru64 OS. I was using the 'Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX - Using the Backup-Archive Clients', in chapter 5 'Automating TSM Tasks.' In the chapter it details using the following statement 'nohup dsmc schedule 2> /dev/null &'. However, it only continues to run while I am logged in, if I log out and log back in, the process can not be found. Our software vendor affirmed that he could get other processes to run after a logout, but could not get the dsmc schedule process to run after a logout. It is probably obvious I am not a Unix guru so any help would be very appreciated. Thanks, Bud Brown Information Services Systems Administrator
