And reading *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23597 would help too.

problem updated

I want to know how to run a command in background...
some commands take time while executing like when u r compiling something or if u r downloading ...

Tell me how can i get a new prompt and the previous command running in background without echoing anything

I don't want to open a new terminal window for that...
some commands like wget is having this feature but i want a universal one that works for all

there are these commands bg for backgrounding and fg for foregrounding.now if u want something to bg, u can simply put a "&"
for eg:

Code:

~$updatedb &

will bg the process and u can bring back the process by asking the cmd

Code:

 fg %updatedb

all from a terminal window.
also refer "man bg" "man fg"

You can see the currently running and suspended jobs using the jobs command.

$jobs

You can also use the job number to resume the job

fg brings the job forward

bg runs the job in the background

back to windows (original though but using for 2 comps!)
