Hmm am i correct that ./command &

does the job?

You want to run it in screen

example

screen <program-name>

if you don't have screen installed you will have to install it

Screen is the way to go. Easy as sin

screen some_cmd

to detach from the screen, hit ctrl a then ctrl d

to reattach to a screen

screen -r

you can have many screens going, you can screen shells, makes, etc etc.

nohup script &

**pstation** · 03-07-2006, 05:47 PM

nohup <command_goes_here> & works too

nohup basicly causes the script to ingore all hangup signals, screen works awesome too as well but it's generally overkill for non-interactive scripts.
