    Gurus,

    I wish to run a shell script from a user's .profile file via sudo. When this
    script is run from the command line, the script executes with no problems,
    and the process started will continue to run when the user logs out.
    However, if I run the script from within the .profile, the process started
    by the script will exit when the user logs out. I have tried to use a nohup
    command but this does not work.

    What I wish to achieve is for the user to log in and have the process start
    automatically, and continue to run after log out.

    Is this possible?

    I'm using Solaris 8 and sudo 1.6.6 downloaded from Sunfreeware.com.

    Many thanks, will summarize.

    Kev
