I am trying to run a string of nohup commands to get server statistics. However I get an error of 'No such file or directory'. Note that the 3 nohup calls are embedded in a script which is executed through a cron job. And the first nohup works but the other 2 return an error. Ironically enough, when run on a different server, the script works fine.

  • Commands

    nohup vmpstat -a -n 60 1000 > myvmstats

  • (works) 

    nohup mpstat -P ALL 1 1000 > mympstats

  • (returns: nohup cannot run command mpstat: no such file or directory)

    nohup iostat -t -x 60 1000 >myiostats

  • (returns: nohup cannot run command iostat: no such file or directory)

Any idea what's wrong?

linux shell unix nohup
