to submit "nohup arsdoc.file1.cmd &" from batch

[LWagner]

I need to produce a long series of extracts to move an appgroup to an AIX cmod instance.

A last step I want, is to run the command file containing a group of arsdoc commands for
auto extracts, and to run arsdoc command file from JCL.

I gen the command file with REXX, use OPUT to copy it to omvs, use ARSZOSHL to make it r-x to run, successfully.  The last step is

ARSZOSHL nohup /ars/tmp/T2.cmd & 

This does not work.  I receive after READY:

  ARSZOSHL nohup /ars/tmp/T2.cmd &             
READY                                           
END                                             
CEE5210S The signal SIGHUP was received.       

And the commnd file is not run.  I give it no hangup, and a background task with "&".  But it does not run.  What is missing ?  I have root authority.

A couple suggestions, run this step instead:

//STEP1 EXEC  PGM=IKJEFT01,                     
//            DYNAMNBR=200                       
//SYSPROC  DD  DSN=SYS1.SBPXEXEC,DISP=SHR       
//*                                             
//SYSTSPRT DD  SYSOUT=*                         
//*                                             
//SYSTSIN  DD  *                                 
 oshell /blah/blah/blah/what you're trying to run &1
/*   

ARSZOSHL is a REXX exec --- been a long time since I've had to debug any REXX but hopefully you run it with TRACE I?


Or you can try running the command like I did in this post:

Still did not run. Received:

READY                                           
  oshell   nohup T2.cmd &1                       
 OSHELL RC =  32512                             
                                                 
 OSHELL Exit Status =  127                       
                                                 
IKJ56246I TERMINAL  NOT ALLOCATED, FILE IN USE   
READY                                           
END

I can let the job run as staright batch from z/OS, and wait for it to run to completion.  That is also acceptable, and I can alreeady do that, verifying it this morning.

> I can let the job run as straight batch from z/OS

That's always my preferred solution.

Not sure what release of z/OS this came out but you know you don't have to do anything fancy with STDOUT or STDERR anymore...

//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*   
//STDERR   DD SYSOUT=*   
//STDOUT   DD SYSOUT=*   

...another compelling reason to run this stuff in batch.
