Are you perhaps getting SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU in those processes? I'm not sure there's much we can do about that; if more/less are in the pipeline I think they'll trigger that. That sounds to me like you should have a helper which backgrounds evince for you. Like I said, if we are causing that (or if we can do something that makes this works better that isn't TOO much work), then let's talk. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
