Getting status of job that is run with nohup - devilsadvocate - 11-23-2015
Can anyone offer some guidance on feeding the character, "s" (without the quotes) to a nohup'd oclHashcat process? I would like to get a status update sent to either nohup.out (or even the oclHashcat log file).
I can run "pidof oclHashcat64.bin" and get a pid (in Linux, of course).
If I try this, it doesn't give me a status update. I am following nohup.out with "tail -f nohup.out"
echo s > /proc/8797/fd/0
(8797 would be the pid)
I don't see a status update sent to nohup.out
I am running this on Ubuntu. My understanding is that /proc/pid/fd/0 is not stdin on all Linux systems and this appears to be the case for Ubuntu.
Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Found a good workaround with the 'screen' utility.
man screen
Nevermind. Have a good day.
