I'm using SLACKWARE LINUX with no graphic interface, only text(console)-mode I'm trying to write client&server program with gcc. I don't have an internet connection so I practice this TCP/UDP stuff on my local machine. HOW CAN I EXECUTE MY SERVER PROGRAM AND MAKE IT RUNNING IN BACKGROUND? I have tried Ctrl+C but it terminates the program:-( also tried Ctrl+Z but it STOPS the program and puts in background:-( ANY IDEA? -- contact: dimoski@xxxxxxxxx
