Bash script background execution "the input device is not a TTY"

Question

I'm getting the input device is not a TTY errors while the below command is being run in the background of my bash script. I saw a similar issue for docker, yet there is no single post for bash scripts. Is there any other option for running commands in the background other than using & ?

echo "Starting the simulation server ..."

cd simulator-server && ./simServer-VegasMixed.sh &

Answer 1

daemon turns any process into a daemon depending on your script you can try that.

There is always the option of using systemd and creating a service. It really depends on what your script is.

Answer 2

I have finally figured it out. I used tmux to run my command in separate sessions.

tmux new -d './simServer-VegasMixed.sh'

This post has also helped me a lot in solving my problem.
