Running a script in the background on Unix

Why is it, a script using the Expect module will not function if run in the background?

Re: Running a script in the background on Unix

This probably has something to do with stdin/out and/or the controlling terminal. I'm not sure. You could try to close /dev/tty and/or stdin in your application and see if that helps.

Sorry that I cannot be of more help.
