Title: running command without losing prompt??
Post by: on November 22, 2002, 08:57:19 AM

Is it possible to run a program from the shell without losing the prompt (like the linux  &)
For instance , when I run unarc the prompt's gone until unarc is closed.
Anyone????

Thanks in advance,
P

Yup! By using the RUN (http://www.nethkin.com/bmori/amiga/c/run.html) command.

( Damn, that took long to find! I miss AmigaRealm...  :boohoo:  :boohoo:  :boohoo: )

Its old news. That vision of a future AmigaOS is loooooong dead. (its about 3 years old, nearly four...)
