nohup in cron

[mos33]

why ""nohup" is not working on cron job??
i wants to call a script using nohup from the script added to the cron job

any idea??

Why do you need to run the script under nohup? Scripts and applications that are started under cron are already detached from stdin/stdout/stderr so nohup should not be required.

i installed asterisk telephony system on centos OS, so i uses nohup for restarting the asterisk or to download a stream using mplayer like that:

in the main script:

nohup /radioBBC/down.sh &

and the script down.sh contains the following:

#!/bin/sh -xv
mplayer -quiet -vo null -vc dummy -af channels=1,volume=0,resample=8000:0:1 -ao pcm:waveheader:file="/var/lib/asterisk/moh/BBC/rawaudio.wav" "mms://a294.l3944042293.c39440.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/294/39440/v0001/reflector:42293"

if i put the mplayer command in the main script, it will not continues running and will stop at the mplayer command, so i have used the nohup option

is there a method to combine all commands in the same script??
