I'd like to use a shell script to start two process at once, wait a while and then kill them both. Starting them manually, I'd just use the & redirector but I can't figure out how to do the same thing in a script. When I try it, the script waits for one job to be finished. For example:
kwrite & konqueror & sleep 5 killall kwrite killall konqueror won't start konqueror till I kill kwrite manually and the sleep does not start until konqueror is finished, then I kill processes that don't exist. I poked around Google for a while and Linux in a nutshell but found nothing but fork bombs. There has got to be a better way. _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://mail.brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
