Linux – Script started with nohup get killed when leave terminal

linuxnohuppythonUbuntu

I need to run some python scripts with infinite loop on ubuntu server (Amazon EC2). And I really like the idea to use nohup as it is simple and I can have output.out log file. I start script like

nohup script.py > output.out &

The process get started. I check it with jobs -l all fine.
Then I close the terminal and log back check processes with jobs -l and I can't see it any more. Can you advise me what am I doing wrong?

If you change session (log out and come back), there is no chance you'll see your script as job.

try ps instead.

ps -u myuser

replacing myuser with actual login..
