[Sorayuth.Kamthawee at orange.co.th]

Dear JMM,

I have already tried that solution before but it's still has the problem
with other error messege as following:

     ./parent.sh: child.out: Cannot create the specified file.

SKE.

If you don't redirect stdout and stderr, nohup needs to open a nohup.out
file
in current directory, with the rights of the owner of the process.
Either you give the rights to the user to write in current dir, or better :
nohup ./child.sh   >>child.out  2>&1  &
