I'm having difficulty running Sage in the background on a Mac with OSX. 5 and getting the output saved in a file. I tried a few permutations with different results so I expect I'm making a silly error. Here's what I've seen. Since the program runs fine in some of the scenarios, I don't think the program (which I call "commands.sage") is the problem (I've made it simpler and simpler without any change in the results). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Tom 0. If I run Sage (from the command line) and type load "commands.sage" then the program runs fine. 1. If I run nohup ./sage < commands.sage > results.txt & the file results.txt will just contain the initial startup messages from Sage, but nothing more. 2. If I run ./sage < commands.sage > results.txt all the output is correctly written to results.txt. The only problem is that I can't close the terminal session and let Sage run in the background. 3. If I run ./sage < commands.sage I get the initial startup message, but nothing else written to screen or any file. 4. If I create a file "intro.sage" with the one line load "commands.sage" and then run ./sage < intro.sage then the program runs and the output is sent to the screen. 5. If I run nohup ./sage < intro.sage > results.txt & the file results.txt will just contain the initial startup messages from Sage, but nothing more. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
