No. This is normal behavior. ^Z merely suspends a program so that you may work on other tasks. You can also run bg(1) to send the suspended process into the background, at which time you will see something similar to the following output: [1]+ glxgears & fg(1) merely brings a backgrounded process to the foreground, regardless whether it was sent into the background with an ampersand or bg(1). - -- Christopher Rosado -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9/RTrk41LrboeC7gRApQkAJ4/SSxnMmaspq5+r0Yge8QIrp+BcACg1UMQ t9jdlRIUFUWGxdfYQquUVR0= =d9TD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
