Python phanthomjs not working with nohup
I am running selenium using phanthomjs, the script works fine if I run it like:
python my_script.py
But when I try to use nohup:
nohup python my_script.py &
I got the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service phantomjs unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 8

It may be too late, but I just came across a similar error with only different code and I found a solution. So when you run nohup your program output is redirected to nohup.out and the file looks like this to me:
Traceback (most recent call last):
me/fanar/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 109, in assert_process_still_running
File "main.py", line 51, in <module>
Work()
File "main.py", line 41, in Work
TakeImage() # start o 16
File "main.py", line 9, in TakeImage
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
File "/home/fanar/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 52, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "/home/fanar/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 96, in start
self.assert_process_still_running()
File "/home/fanar/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 109, in assert_process_still_running
% (self.path, return_code)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service phantomjs unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1
The workaround was to go to
.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py
and comment out the line
self.assert_process_still_running()
