hi, im writing a bash scrip and woudl love some help.

currently i have

Code:

		cd /usr/share/shoutcast/sc_serv/
		./sc_serv
		sleep 5s
		cd /usr/share/shoutcast/sc_trans_linux/
		./sc_trans_linux

the only problem, is the script will not move on until the execution of a line is complete, but i am hoping to have both programs running at once, how do i make the script continue whilst leaving sc_serv running?

thanks

Start it with an ampersand at the end ...

Cheers,
Tink
