I've tried searching it and everything I've seen posted on different sites didn't work.i have my program set up in vi.it runs the way it is supposed too but i need it to start in the back ground the program runs fine when running it in the fore ground but i need it to start up and run in the background.
View 3 RepliesFollowing script name is 123.sh and I need to put this in the background if I do 123.sh -bg this will not bring me back to the prompt but echoes what ever I put (using echo hello >> /tmp/123) in to the /temp/123 file. the only way that I have found doing this is to do "nohup 123.sh &" to put this in to the background. Is this okay or is there any better way of doing this?
#!/bin/bash
# file name is 123.sh
tail -f /temp/123 | while read line

#!/bin/bash

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to achieve a particular effect using bash's redirection facilities.I know that I can redirect a file to some program's standard input:[user@host]$ application < file.txtThe thing is, I'd like to know can I regain control of this program's input after the file content's have been passed to it. In other words, I'd like to run a command similar to the above, and then, instead of the termination of the application, I'd want it to wait for further commands from standard input (keyboard).
As I write this question, it occured to me that I could probably write another application (or a script), that would at first write some data to standard output and then act as echo, like:[user@host]$ stdin_proxy.sh | applicationWould it work, and is there any better way to do so? There are a bunch of Googleable tutorials covering this issue, but they all amount to one advice - "reopen the stdin after the file contents have been read".

I want a beginners book not on how to install linux, but how to administer it. Something like an idiots book, get myself a good foundation before moving on up.
