So, you have a foreground job running. Try to press Ctrl+Z - it should be stopped (suspended), you'll get a string with job number (in square brackets, if I remember well). Use bg # (or bg %# - it depends on shell) command to make it work in the background mode. Use jobs -l command to get a list of you current jobs. -- Sincerely yours, V.K. http://softvector.com
