Someone has already told you about nohup, and that's probably the answer you need for what you are doing. If you need to detach a process but still be able to get back to it, look at screen. Screen will allow you start a process and then detach that process, log out, etc. Come back and reattach to the screen session, and it's there waiting for you. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Steve Garcia using MR/2 ICE #10133 with Warp 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] For PGP key, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "PGP key" ----------------------------------------------------------- The Operating System/2 Version is 4.50 Revision 14.062 There are 38 Processes with 138 Threads.
