Hi there!Bash has a builtin called "disown" that lets you detach a background process from the shell's job control (after you "disown" a process, it no longer shows up when you run "jobs", and it won't be killed if you close the shell's xterm). I typically use it to start X11 clients in the background. e.g. In bash, I typically write:
firefox & disown Is there something similar I can do in fish? Also, another command I typically use in bash is: firefox & exit (It's basically equivalent to "firefox & disown ; exit".) In fish, if I do "firefox & exit", the shell doesn't actually exit.Instead, I get the misleading message "There are stopped jobs", when firefox is actually not stopped, it's _running_ in the background. (This is in Debian's fish 1.23.0-5 package.)
