What you're doing should work. What happens to make you think it doesn't run in the background? That is, what happens if you run the following: $ find / -name abc > /tmp/myfind & sleep 10 $ jobs $ ls -la /tmp/myfind Does jobs report anything running in the background? Does the ls show /tmp/myfind? Is /tmp full? > I am running bash shell on CentOS 4.2 i386. I'm running FC4 and find is running in the background in my user shell just fine.
