I logged in through a command shell on a Linux system and entered a command:
nohup rsync ... >my.log &2>1
I expected that after the command issue the command prompt
ml@server [/]#
gets visible again.
But the ssh terminal is blocked as if I would have NOT entered "nohup".
Why is the rsync command still running in foreground although I prepended the command with "nohup" ?
