I have been trying to run a Linux softIoc in the background by using the

command the screen terminates without any error message.

What happens if you specify the executable explicitly rather than starting the executable from the script?

i.e.

screen /full/path/to/bin/linux-x86/iocExecutable st.cmd

If I start the screen and then run the startup script I don't have any

problems. This problem occurs for every database we have tried. Has

anybody else had any similar problems or any ideas what might be causing

this?

We are running R3.14.7.
