Hi there --
Typically you can end the command with the '&' symbol to background the job
and
free the command prompt.

Subject: freeing the prompt
i have a program that captures the terminal, mean when i run it it shows
some outputs on that terminal, i want it to run it in background, i
remember
there is some thing to do with redirecting its output to /dev/null, but it
simply hides the output, it doesnt free the prompt
can u guys tell me about the command
Regards
Azeem
the & doesnt seem to work with a scrip
when i run
./dicom -v & it works in its ordinary manner and captures the prompt :(
Regards
Azeem
