The & will run the job in the background. But if you log out of your session, I think the job will die. If you use nohup, your job will continue to run after you log out, as long as the machine stays up. You can do 'nohup <command> &' to run the job in the background, and have it persist after you log out. nohup should be in /usr/bin/nohup. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
