my favorite way to do this is screen. the basics: (install screen first) type 'screen' hit return at the prompt, it shows a screen of license info or something. load your program hold down CTRL and press A then D (quickly) it will say [detached] the app will still be running in the background to restore the app do screen -r see the manpage for more details, although i've been using it for 5-6 years I have never had a need for more then the above though :) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
