             Summary: couchdb fails to start when run remotely (from an interactive shell) 
                 Key: COUCHDB-1627
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1627
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nestor Urquiza


1. Be sure couchdb is not running in a remote machine
2. Issue the below command to the remote machine:
$ ssh -t remoteserver sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb start
3. You will see how the daemon is not started

Now update the script as shown below (using nohup) and repeat 1-2 from above to confirm the daemon is indeed started:
run_command () {
    command="$1"
    if test -n "$COUCHDB_OPTIONS"; then
        command="$command $COUCHDB_OPTIONS"
    fi
    if test -n "$COUCHDB_USER"; then
        if nohup su $COUCHDB_USER -c "$command"; then
            return $SCRIPT_OK
        else
            return $SCRIPT_ERROR
        fi
    else
        if $command; then
            return $SCRIPT_OK
        else
            return $SCRIPT_ERROR
        fi
    fi
}

I am not recommending to use nohup but to come up with a solution that allows to remotely start couchdb the same way it is started from a logged in session.
