TCSH shell and Platform LSF


Hello!
My first entry on the forum but this might be of interest.
My problem was related to starting a service with nohup and & from a flow in LSF. We were using standard ksh and csh installed on AIX.
The job executed the script successfully and the service started in background, but LSF/PM job would continue in "running" modus. I am assuming that it was waiting on the "UOW" /service that was started, to finish.
However, when I changed the shell to tcsh. then both the shell script and job finished successfully. The service is running and other jobs in the LSF flow that were dependent on the job, were triggered.

Can anyone on the forum explain the differnce in behaviour with "nohup &" between csh and tcsh?
I am not a shell expert but I am interested in getting some feedback. Is it advisable to begin using tcsh with future development?

Thank you
Seamus
