Run the bash script from another script and exit the script first, and in the second -

Question

First bash script:

./second #takes too long

I want to kill the bash script first, and the second bash script is still running.

Can I do it?

UPDATE

The script first runs cronjob!

Answer 1

If the last thing the first script does is call the second script, then do the following:

exec ./second

which replaces the first script process with the second.

otherwise

nohup ./second &
disown

Answer 2

For Linux, you should use the kill command after receiving the PID of the program you want to exit -

I do not know how you could get the PID automatically through a script.

, "pkill" -

Ex -

pkill -9 ping

killall -

killall firefox
