I've been using nohup for years on my server without any issue. Suddenly today it stopped working and the process ends as soon as I exit SSH. I have multiple accounts on this server and the problem is happening with one account but not the other. Is there a server setting anywhere that would affect this? I've also tried DISOWN but has the same issue. How can I get to the bottom of figuring out why this is happening?

I'm running it like:

nohup dotnet /home/MyProgram.dll/MyProgram.dll >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Check without the nohup, the redirection, the backgrounding. Does it even work? – waltinator May 01 '21 at 18:15
Yes. It runs fine with or without nohup, but the process dies when I logout of SSH. – Ray May 01 '21 at 18:45

What operating system are you using? On systems that make use of systemd some options in logind.conf (e.g. KillUserProcesses) may be used to have users' processes killed when they log out. – fra-san May 01 '21 at 20:29

In case your shell is Bash, could it have anything to do with the huponexit option? – berndbausch May 02 '21 at 02:17
