Hi,I want to run programs, which insist on haveing a terminal to write their status to and which are writing files which their results on a headless computer (beaglebone). I tried things like my_program -o file.txt -parameter value > /dev/null &2>&1 & but this results in a idle copy of this process and a defunct child. The program does not use X11 in any way... Is there any neat trick to accomplish what I am trying to do here?
