I don't use nohup.  I got tired of nohup.out files all over the place!
I have a number of AIX clients setup this way:
In /etc/inittab, this one line:

dsmc:2:once:/etc/rc.dsmc >/dev/null 2>&1 #Start scheduler

This starts on each reboot.

Contents of /etc/rc.dsmc:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#  Start DSMC Scheduler

/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched &

This both starts scheduler on reboot and enables me to kill scheduler,
make changes to dsm.sys or whatever and then restart manually with:
/etc/rc.dsmc
and then logout and it keeps running.

Anybody,

I am trying to get the scheduler service to run in the background and to
continue running after a logout.  My TSM server is ver. 4.1.4.1 and AIX
4.3.3, my tsm b-a client is 4.1.4 on a Unix Tru64 OS.  I was using the
'Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX - Using the Backup-Archive Clients', in
chapter 5 'Automating TSM Tasks.'  In the chapter it details using the
following statement 'nohup dsmc schedule 2> /dev/null &'.  However, it
only continues to run while I am logged in, if I log out and log back
in, the process can not be found.  Our software vendor affirmed that he
could get other processes to run after a logout, but could not get the
dsmc schedule process to run after a logout.  It is probably obvious I
am not a Unix guru so any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
