BASH detaching from tty when run in background with '&'
Hiyas, Ok the parameter thing will undoubtly work, but is a little cumbersome and eextreemly likely i will forget to use it :( Using 'nohup' doesnt unfortunatly detach the job from the issuing terminal fully, the session is inherrited and means that the 'tty' type woudl aalso be inherrited :(...- akaKul

BASH detaching from tty when run in background with '&'
Hi I have a bash script that I need to run both interactivly and non-interactivly (ie via crond or using '&'). This script echo's my lovely junk to the terminal if run interactivly, or to a file if run via crond. I use: (Which works fine!!) if [ -z $(tty) ]; then exec > the_file 2>&1...- akaKul
