I tried using at command for runing a program. Why don't you try to compile somthing like main() { while(1); } and, then, do "at any_time program"? It simply won't work. At least, I failed. As for, "nohup ..." and/or "... &". I use it under IRIX 6.2. I don't need to use "nohup" to avoid killing on closing the shell or logging off. Yes, I had my program runnig in the background while the shell is open. It's got killed on closing no metter if I used nohup or I did not. Probably, I ask for too much. WindowsNT is not sopposed to provide environment for time-consuming simulations, is it? Yes, a service will help. Unfortunately, I don't know how to write it. Can anybody show me a service corresponding to the program above. Is there any good book on this?
