If you connect to a SSH – when the window is closed, all running programs in the current session will be terminated. One way to solve this is to run the command in screen session. The following uses “nohup” to define a function bkr() and you can run the script easily to start a problem in background – which is free from termination even if you terminate the current SSH session:
We define a bkr() function that uses nohup to take whatever parameters ($@) and redirect all output and errors to /dev/null device. And then we check if parameters (command to stay in background) exist using -z $1 check. Then we call the BASH function with all parameters supplied.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | #!/bin/bash bkr() { (nohup "$@" &>/dev/null 2>&1 &) } if [[ -z $1 ]]; then echo Usage $0 command exit 1 fi bkr $@ |
#!/bin/bash
bkr() {
(nohup "$@" &>/dev/null 2>&1 &)
}
if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
echo Usage $0 command
exit 1
fi
bkr $@One example:
1 | $ bkr yes |
$ bkr yes
