There is always the screen program /usr/ports/sysutils/screen which is ideal for things like this. Although it's not a builtin like nohup, it is (imho) more flexible. (To be honest, I've used screen for so long, if I had to use nohup I'd have to look up the syntax) I think it's something like nohup sh -c $(your_command) & but I could be wrong. -- Scott GPG KeyID EB3467D6 ( 1B848 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: But this is why I think we should all keep a level head in this.
