You mean that if you run something from text shell (probably bash) f.e mozilla it blocks your terminal? Simply run it like this: $ mozilla & or after running it press [Ctrl]+[Z] that will *stop* current command (mozilla) - the browser will freeze, to unfreeze it type: $ bg and if you want to connect it back type: $ fg if you have more than 1 process running in the background of your shell you'll be given a list of such processes to choose from. If you want to close the shell having open background process(es) you should type: $ disown If you don't do so, proceses started within given shell will die with that shell. If you do this it is comofrtable to add "disown" command to your logout script (for bash it would be ~/.bash_logout). -- ,--------, |`. .'| Konrad Kosmowski |.'`--'`.| K_Kosmowski@xxxxx '--------' -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
