For example, I was thinking of: kompare & ctrl-D Also note su wget http://example.com/bigfile.iso & ctrl-D There is no confirmation request in these case, although I'm not completely confident on drawing the distinction between these and the 'cat &' case that was given. As the programs that I tend to be working on are often like this, I hadn't really notices the 'stopped jobs' warning. Cheers JP
