I regularly start elm this way, and it simply ignores > the ^z. I do this all the time with Pine; but I've never had a problem "kill -9"ing it. What I eventually did was turn the "enable-suspend" option off in the config file, then setting an "alias pine pine -z" so that when starting pine manually from the shell I get the suspend feature, but when launching it from an xterm I don't. Works for me... :-) Thanks, Mike +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ |Mike Newell | The opinions expressed herein are | |NASA Science Internet Network Systems | my own, and do not necessarily | |Sterling Software, Inc. | reflect those of the NSI program, | |MNewell@nsipo.nasa.gov | Sterling Software, NASA, or anyone | |+1-202-434-8954 | else. | +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | work: http://www.eco.nsi.nasa.gov/~mnewell | | home: http://www.newell.arlington.va.us | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
