Summary:	Sudo and nohup hangs clear command

Description Cesar 2008-08-17 18:03:45 MDT

When invoking "sudo" with "-i -u user" options from a shell script, if the shell script executed as sudo's argument contains a "nohup command &", then a "clear" command after the sudo call fails with no message; it just hangs there. Any echo command after sudo and before clear works.
The unix version is: HP-UX B.11.23 ia64

Marking as fixed.  If this still is a problem with sudo 1.6.9p17, please reopen.
