Getting sudo and nohup to work together

Question

Linux newbie here.

I have a perl script which takes two command line inputs. I tried to run it in the background but this is what I got:

[~user]$ nohup s         


        

Answer 1

You can Try

sudo su

and then

nohup ./ascii_loader_script.pl 20070502 ctm_20070502.csv &

instead of

nohup sudo ./ascii_loader_script.pl 20070502 ctm_20070502.csv &
