    Alexei Kotelnikov came up with the winning suggestion:-

    you can start the script with the at scheduling command, for example,
    at -f /path_to_script/script_name now

    This does exactly what I need.

    Good suggestions also from -

    Reggie Beavers
    Yakov Lerner

    Thanks to all who replied.

Subject: Sudo from .profile
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
