Possible to launch Virtuoso and close the terminal without killing it?

dontpanic

Hi! I am looking for a way to launch virtuoso from a csh terminal, in a way that it won't be killed if I (usually accidentally) close the terminal. I tried

nohup virtuoso &

but this doesn't work. Also, the disown command is not available in csh. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks and regards, Jorge.

    Jorge,

    That's a bit odd, because in my experience csh doesn't behave that way - the default behaviour seems to be that the parent csh exiting doesn't cause the child background process to exit (unless it's a login shell, probably). I can certainly do "hup virtuoso &" and that means I see the behaviour you're seeing.

    Perhaps can you type "set" and see if any variables in your shell are set which might be causing this difference? I'm not quite sure what to look for - a quick scan of the csh man page and a google search didn't help much...

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew! I found the problem: I usually ssh into the design server first before running virtuoso, so using:

    nohup ssh my_server

    and then launching virtuoso achieved the intended behavior!

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Regards, Jorge.
