Use rsh and in the remote command preface it with stty -nohup, like such:

C:\rsh <host> "stty -nohup;<command>"

This will tell the command to disassociate from the shell.

I need to launch a job remotely from a Windows machine on a CentOS box, the caveat is that I can't maintain a connection once I have initiated the job. Anyone got an idea how I can accomplish this?

Thanks! jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
