I tried execute my script using:nohup . test.shandnohup . ./test.shHowever, I got: nohup: failed to run command `.': Permission denied each time.What I'm really trying to do is in my script be able to call commands that I've aliased, but it only works with . test.sh or . ./test.sh, not ./test.sh or sh ./test.sh as I get a  command not found.  But I'd like to be able to run this with nohup.
nohup: failed to run command `.': Permission denied
shell;alias;source;nohup
nohup runs an executable. You need to pass it an external command, i.e. an executable file. You can't call nohup on a shell construct such as an alias, function or builtin. nohup runs a new process, it doesn't run something inside the existing shell process (since nohup itself is a separate process), so nohup .  doesn't make sense.nohup ./test.sh is the correct way to run a shell script with nohup. Make sure that the script properly starts with a shebang line (#!/bin/sh) and that the file is executable (chmod +x ./test.sh).
