using console after launching a program off it
Hi. I had noticed that if I start a program off concole it becomes unusable untill the program is closed, as in I cannot execute commands, and ctrl+c while brings back workign console, kills the launched program.
question: how can I say run firefox off console and than run xine, without closing firefox? |

try issuing the command(s) like this:
firefox & xine & the "&" sign tells bash to background the process... but - if you should close the terminal, from which you where running these commands, the programs started from it would still be closed with it... |
