I have to run a python script in the background in my server. I am using the command: 

nohup python MyScript.py &

in the command line. Now, when after running this I close the connection and log out and log in back it fails, I see that its not running anymore. Any ideas?

EDIT I am using Putty software to log into my server and from there am trying it.

    I don't have a direct answer to your question, but it was because of problems like this that I started using the screen utility. Screen basically creates subshells and allows you to detach them from your current session. So in these cases you would load screen, start the script, detach your screen, log out. Then check back in a couple hours by logging on to the server and reattaching your screen. Check it out.
