All required variable are set. The script is working fine. It is just the
nohup when runs in cron does not release the script to continue

Does the script set up any required environment variables correctly?
Jobs started from cron may not have the users environment variables set
This may be causing your script to hang?

Subject: nohup in a korn shell
Hi,
I am having a problem with a shell script that uses nohup to start a
background process. This script run fine if I run it from the command line,
However, if I set it to run in cron the script will work and the nohup will
start the background process but the script will stop there. It will not
continue to the next steps in the script which is updating a log file. If I
check the processes with PS, I can see the script is still running and the
background process that nohup started successfully.
If any body have experienced this before, and can share or give me a hint.
Thanks.
