Re:How to detach a long-run processes from cfengine???

[Christian Pearce]

Take a look at this thread.  See if this helps...

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-cfengine/2004-09/msg00096.html

I am not certain I understand "</dev/null" part of the command.

Try this

      '/bin/process > /dev/null 2>&1 &'
           useshell=true

Make sure you have useshell=true.

You can also trying adding echo "cfengine-die" after the &.

Hi,

 Just got a problem: How to detach a programfrom cfengine? 
Theprogram iscalled from“shellcommands” section and will run as 
long as one hour, I would like it tobedetached from the main 
cfagentprocess just after it iscalled? If it possible?

 I tried the following rules but it failed, cfagent still wait 
there until thecalled program to die.

…..

 Shellcommands:

      Linux::

              “/someAbsoluteDir/Long_run_jobs.sh  
</dev/null>/dev/null 2>&1&”

……


Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.
