Unable to run commands in background even after using nohup and '&'

Hey Guys, I am making a ssh connection to a linux host where I try to run a script as a background process by using nohup and &, but the moment my connection closed the remote shell script also terminates.

Not sure why the nohup option is not working . Any idea?

Best Regards Robin

Hallo!

I have the same/similar issue. I'd like to exec

nohup tcpdump -i eth0.3 -w /tmp/direct.pcap > /dev/null 2>&1 &

but tcpdump is not started on target. Any idea how to solve that? Thanks!

Best regards, Sven

Hey Jody,

Thanks for the link. I believe I have tried this option before and it did not help. I will anyways give it another shot just to be sure.
