    Guys,

    Quick question for you all....

    I have 3 scripts in a directory that i regularly run with the command nohup. Everything runs fine. The problem is that they all write to nohup.out. It makes it very confusing trying to read the file.

    Is it possible that I can configure it that script 1 writes to nohup.out1 , script2 writes to nohup.out2 etc? It would make things alot easier for me.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    nohup uses standard output. So just redirect each script to another file.

    nohup script1 >> output1 &
    nohup script2 >> output2 &
    etc

    [edit]changed commands - you'll want to append not overwrite so use >> not >
