Put it in the background. Optionally, you may wish to redirect its output to a file and use tail -f on that file to see how things are progressing: bash-2.05b$ ( cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.example.net > logfile 2>&1 ) & bash-2.05b$ disown %1 bash-2.05b$ exit The example shown above works for GNU bash, hence the prompt. Other shells have ways of doing the same thing too. - Giorgos
