Running MTA server with nohup on Debian

[Woet]

When running the MTA server using nohup, it keeps spamming the following in a nohup.out file:

[24d[m(B[39;49m[37m[40m[H[C[0;1m(B[34m[47m/

[24d[m(B[39;49m[37m[40m[H[C[0;1m(B[34m[47m-

[24d[m(B[39;49m[37m[40m[H[C[0;1m(B[34m[47m\

The command im using:

nohup ./mta_server & 

EDIT: I have fixed it for now by telling nohup to NOT make the nohup.out file

It seems that MTA fails to start at certain conditions, which include nohup, but im not sure which other conditions.

I can start it from putty, but not using the PHP extension SSH with command ssh2_exec (executing the same command under the same user)

This extension works fine with SA:MP, Shoutcast, Ventrilo etc.

That's not a MTA bug, it's the way nohup works.

Though, you can disable it using something around the following lines

nohup ./mta > /dev/null 2>&1 &
