I had a question about using the daemon option. If I start mserver5 with daemon=yes, it seems to stop: ./mserver5 --dbinit="include sql;" --dbname=db1 --daemon=yes & [1] 10038 [monetdb@localhost bin]$ # MonetDB server v5.2.0, based on kernel v1.20.0 # Serving database 'db1' # Compiled for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/64bit with 64bit OIDs dynamically linked # Copyright (c) 1993-2007 CWI, all rights reserved # Visit http://monetdb.cwi.nl/ for further information #warning: please don't forget to set your vault key! #(see /home/monetdb/MonetDB/etc/monetdb5.conf) # Listening for connection requests on mapi:monetdb://127.0.0.1:50000/ # MonetDB/SQL module v2.20.0 loaded [1]+ Stopped ./mserver5 --dbinit="include sql;" --dbname=db1 --daemon=yes If I leave off &, I still get a > prompt and can interact with it. I also tried nohup. I am not sure what I need to do to get the server running in the background and keep it running without it being in the foreground.... = nantucket vacation in Nantucket, MA Sanford Real Estate provides professional real estate services in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
