How to run nohup when prompted for password and/or input parameter

command-line-interfacenohupunix

I typically use nohup like so:

nohup ./myscript.sh 11111 > nohup.out &

Where 11111 is an input parameter. In this case, the application is prompting for a password and I'm unable to use nohup.

How do I get around this if I'm prompted for a password? as well as passing an input parameter? I need the nohup.out for review.

try nohup bash -c "./myscript.sh 11111" > nohup.out

You can use the start command to run a process in the background of the command window.

command1
command2
start command3
command4

command2 waits until command1 finish but command4 don't wait that command3 finishes.

and if you need to run independently of the user logged on, you need to start the process as a service and you can use anysrv.exe

If the command doesn't have to be scripted, you can do it this way:

run it in the foreground
pause it (CTRL+Z)
disown it so that it won't be closed when you close your shell (disown -h %jobid)
resume the job in the background (bg %jobid)
