How to get a list of programs running with nohup

When I started with $ nohup storm dev-zookeper ,

METHOD1 : using jobs,

prayagupd@prayagupd:/home/vmfest# jobs -l[1]+ 11129 Running                 nohup ~/bin/storm/bin/storm dev-zookeeper &

METHOD2 : using ps command.

$ ps xwPID  TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND1031 tty1     Ss+    0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty110582 ?        S      0:01 [kworker/0:0]10826 ?        Sl     0:18 java -server -Dstorm.options= -Dstorm.home=/root/bin/storm -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/lib -Dsto10853 ?        Ss     0:00 sshd: vmfest [priv] 

TTY column with ? => nohup running programs.

Description

• TTY column = the terminal associated with the process
• STAT column = state of a process
  • S = interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
  • l = is multi-threaded (using CLONE_THREAD, like NPTL pthreads do)

Reference

$ man ps # then search /PROCESS STATE CODES

Instead of nohup, you should use screen. It achieves the same result - your commands are running "detached". However, you can resume screen sessions and get back into their "hidden" terminal and see recent progress inside that terminal.

screen has a lot of options. Most often I use these:

To start first screen session or to take over of most recent detached one:

screen -Rd 

To detach from current session: Ctrl+ACtrl+D

You can also start multiple screens - read the docs.

If you have standart output redirect to "nohup.out" just see who use this file

lsof | grep nohup.out
