Re: How to "load" a table without getting screen messages

just to point out, nohup will return back to the calling shell immediately (since, after all, that is the purpose of nohup). you won't know when the load is done, which might be a problem if the program wants to use the data after loading it. -joe- (huddles@hasting.com) ---------- From: informix-list-owner To: kcj Cc: informix-list Subject: Re: How to "load" a table without getting screen messages Date: Saturday, June 22, 1996 8:04PM What about using "nohup" it works for me and I redirect the nohup output to a file.
