It's a setiathome process, as well as another similar one. Basically I'd like something like ^Z that will give me a shell, but let the process run and not stop it, preferrably to be able to use fg to bring it back to take a peek at it. Also, I was wondering if it is possible to make a process run for example on ttyv3 when sshd in and su'd to root, basically to route the output to a virtual console and transfer the control of it to there. Thanks for the help:) - Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
