I'm running a sh script under terminal, it is a NFS@Home post-processing job. How do I start resume.sh script to start under terminal on the Ubuntu Startup Application Menu? Do I only need to give the path to the folder where resume.sh file is? Will it start with terminal open or it will start hidden? I just feel better to check on the terminal the LA progress. Thank you. Carlos

start.sh

Code:

#! /bin/bash

nice -n 19 ./msieve -i L1746.ini -s L1746.dat -nf L1746.fb -v -nc -t 8

resume.sh

Code:

#! /bin/bash

nice -n 19  ./msieve -i L1746.ini -s L1746.dat -nf L1746.fb -nc3 -ncr -v -t 8

Can you provide a screenshot of this menu?

You ought to be able to get it started in a terminal by making the command "gnome-terminal /path/to/resume.sh". In all likely hood you'd need the full path to the script (unless you've messed with PATH in ~/.bashrc).

Code:

gnome-terminal -e /path/to/resume.sh

Note the "-e" for execute

However, killing the terminal will kill the process.

Ah yes, I thought I might be missing something. Thanks

As for the terminal taking the process with it, that's true for any terminal and any foreground process.

It might be safer to do this:

Code:

cd /path/to/program/ && gnome-terminal -e ./resume.sh

Paul and Dubslow, next time I reboot the machine I will see what happens with the commands you guys gave. Thank you.

Starting with "gnome-terminal -e /path/to/resume.sh"works but now I have an issue with msieve. This problem also happens under windows, msieve stalls on LA resume when the computer is rebooted due to the fact that the OS is not idle so a delay must be added, like this:

Code:

#! /bin/bash
wait X seconds until do the next command
nice -n 19  ./msieve -i SF1229.ini -s SF1229.dat -nf SF1229.fb -ncr -nc3 -v -t 4

How do I add a delay, see bold text, to the shell script?

Thank you in advance,

Carlos

Found, "sleep X" seconds.
