Start UNIX Background Process from Windows
A UCMD Manager job will not end until the remote process ends and all standard files are closed. If the remote process starts a child process, UCMD Manager also will wait until the child process ends and its standard I/O files are closed.
In order to start the process without waiting for the process to end and close its standard I/O files, start the process in the background using the nohup command and redirect standard out and error to /dev/null.
The command to start a process is issued with the UNIX nohup parameter. Any output is written to /dev/null which never is saved to disk or memory. The process will authenticate and run under the authority of userid joe.
