I am using CentOS 7.3. I tried to kick off a process in the background with nohup:nohup myscript.py --props=./conf/prop.file > process.out &I thought that was going to report the PID of the process and return the next prompt, starting the process. But I got[1] 17712> nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdoutand the cursor remained hanging without returning the next prompt. When I CTRL-C out of there, the process seems to stop streaming to the file, whose timestamp remains as of that time but ps aux | grep myscript does show the process as running, which doesn't make sense.How can I kick off a process that outputs to a file in the background on CentOS?
Starting process in background with nohup doesn't return next prompt
centos;process;nohup
