Hey, good people. I have gotten Gekko running on my local machine as well as on a free OpenShift server. But now I want to get Gekko running without the need for a terminal instance open, and so am trying to get it running with nohup. Here's the problem:

Code:

You configured Gekko to mail you advice, Gekko needs your email
   password to send emails (to you). Gekko is an opensource project
   [ http://github.com/askmike/gekko ], you can take my word but always
   check the code yourself.

   WARNING: If you have not downloaded Gekko from the github page above we
   CANNOT guarantuee that your email address & password are safe!

prompt: password:

events.js:72
   throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
   ^
Error: EBADF, read

My log shows:

Code:

prompt: [90mpassword[39m[90m: [39m

events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: EBADF, read

My password is stored in config.js. Why is it still prompting for a password? Is it in fact prompting for a password, or is it just saying that it is? Because with the password stored when I run Gekko normally I have to press enter at the prompt: password: line. Or is the problem something else entirely?

Thanks, guys!

I think you should try Screen instead of nohup for that purpose, it should do better job of preserving the environment which may be important when process needs input. There are no disadvantages in using it instead of nohup.
