Try adding '&' to your first line to start it as a background process. I did this for months. MAKE SURE emerge --info SHOWS THAT YOU ARE USING THE DISTLOCKS FEATURE. It's a separate process instead of a separate thread, but it should do what you want. You may also want to throw a '> /dev/null 2>&-' before the '&', but that depends on your sensibilities. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
