'simple' script help needed (start/stop program)

powadha · 03-26-2009, 01:16 PM

Could someone help me out with a (for you I hope) simple script to do the following:

I have an .sh file which I can start from terminal but can't stop in a nice way. It runs a java application and it would be nice if I could start it and get control over the terminal again or start it using a script which makes it possible to kill the process. Any ideas how to do this userfriendly?

Regards

Code:

./file.sh &
