program flow
 

Hello guys i have a problem that i cant seem to find the answer or actually the question but here it goes

i have

echo "we will open glxgears"
konsole --noclose -e glxgears
echo "******"

etc etc

but when glxgears is open the konsole will not run the rest of the script until glxgears is closed is there anyway i could open glxgears and let the script run the rest of the program while glxgears is still open

thanks in advance

append & to the glxgears opening line
