I don't have rec or any hardware to do with sound, so I'll use "yes" to demonstrate a program that runs until interrupted. Not I use SIGHUP rather than SIGINT, as bash provides a handler for SIGINT for background jobs. stdout and stderr don't have to be null, but they have to be directed away from the terminal. #!/bin/sh yes >/dev/null 2>/dev/null & sleep 1 kill -HUP $!
