Hi VOLTER, Your questions are off-topic for this forum. I do not say this to chastise you. I say it because you will probably be able to get better accuracy, deeper knowledge, and faster answers on a more appropriate forum. To run a program in the background, with the bash shell, you can do this: myapp & If you want to run it in the background disconnected from your current session (so if you exit your bash shell, the app stays running) you can do this: (myapp &) </dev/null >/dev/null 2>/dev/null That's the "quick and dirty" way of spinning up a daemon process. HTH, --Eljay
