launching a java application in background

["Miguel González Castaños" <mgc@tid.es>]

Dear all,

I need to launch a java proccess as a daemon, in background.

It would be like the following:


java bin/aplicacion.jar

In interactive mode works fine. We have tried to launch it in background 
using nohup.

If I send everything (all redirections <> ) to /dev/null it works, but I 
do not get the logs

We have tried:

java bin/aplication.jar < /dev/null  > output.log 2>&1 &

But I get in the output file carachters like "->"

Any time of getting those logs?

I hope I have explained myself fine

Regards

Miguel
