Re: [K12OSN] trouble with custom launcher and sshfs

[Angus Carr <acarr saskforestcentre ca>]

I'll confirm the behaviour, but I think it's a matter of the processes 
being closed by the shell they are in. If I look at ps -ax after I 
launch the launcher, but before hitting enter, I can see that the 
process is on terminal pts/4 (or whatever). When the bash script closes, 
it closes pts/4, which kills all associated processes.

Try the following adaptation to your script. It will ignore the signals 
to shutdown. I'm sure there are other ways...

Thanks for pointing out that I had it installed. I've been looking for 
ways to do this, and this is a wonderful tool.

#!/bin/bash
nohup sshfs user server:/home/user /home/user/mount_point
echo "Press <ENTER> to continue"
