Although it may have been discussed before... How do you start a program that runs itself in background but doesn't free the CLI? I've tried: runback -- crashes run -- crashes >null: <null: -- doesn't work (device is mounted) >nil: <nil: -- doesn't work... So, will someone please tell me the secret? -- cknight@polyslo.calpoly.edu ---King Claudius---

Sounds like you have a bum copy of runback. Or maybe you're version is out of date with 1.3? - Bear

Here's someone else's suggestion...I haven't given it a try but I think it may work for those interested... -> From: Josh Rovero <PROVERO@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL> -> Subject: Re: Background Tasks. -> To: cknight@polyslo.calpoly.edu -> ->try the ARP ARUN command, such as: -> -> ARUN MachII NOIO [the NOIO is important for background pgms] -- cknight@polyslo.calpoly.edu ---King Claudius---
