If you start it by appending an & to the command line, it will run in background. This is usually sufficient to keep it running even when the xterm that started it is killed or exited.
With some apps you may need to add 'nohup' to the start of the command line... this is because when the shell exits it is supposed to send a HUP to children to tell them that you "hung up" the session (as in hanging up a phone call) and that they should shut down nicely. In practice, I rarely use nohup, so I doubt you need to use it. (Most programs ignore the HUP signal or use it as a clue to reread their config files, not to exit.) -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58696 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
