After a background job is completed, a message is usually displayed
telling you that its done. For example, if I type in
source test &
It gives a "job complete message when it is finished. Is there any
way to bypass this message?

You can avoid all such messages by running the background job from within a script. Jim Rogers Hewlett-Packard Company
