I am running a long python process on a Amazon Web Service shell, say it is
python sample.py
When I exit the shell, it will kill the process, so I tried putting it in the background with nohup python &.
I exited the shell and when I came back, I typed ps -ef | grep python, and the process was still there, however it was no longer printing any output (the job keeps writing output). I tried fg <job_number> and I got "no such job".
The result for ps -ef | grep python is
ubuntu 2433 1 81 02:55 ? 00:01:53 python sample.py
Is the process still running? How do I keep checking its output?
