I see nothing in the logs. Is there a way to trace this Maybe nohup su regularUser -c "cd /home/me/folding; ./FAH504-Linux.exe >/dev/null " & will work better... because your & is inside the quotes I think it finishes with the su action after spawning the background process and then kills the background process because the su exited. -Andy
