This is not strange at all. The command prompt only returns when the
command has finished execution (has exited) or if you run a program in
the background (by adding & at the end of the command, seperated with a
space). You can run slimserver in daemon mode by adding the option
--daemon to the command line. The command prompt should then return
almost instantly.
