I occasionally log into a machine remotely and start a process in the background: command & However, when I log out of the machine, the ssh process on my local machine blocks. I guess that it is becuase the remote still has jobs running. Is there a way to get it start the process in the background and then detach from the shell? I have already tried this: exec command & However, it results in the same behavior. It is really a bit annoying to have to kill the ssh process on my end to terminate the connection. I really should be able to do something that lets me logout normally. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
