I have a bourne shell script with a menu. One menu entry is for running an executable to produce output (non-stop logging on a busy server) on the screen. How can I stop this program and get kicked back to my script (menu) when I have seen enough? So far all I can do is Ctrl-C which kicks me back to my command prompt with no more output coming through (something that happens if I merely start it in the background)? I am using the bash shell on OpenBSD 3.9. Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
