Unix

Now, if you are unfamiliar with ctrl-z bg/fg etc.. you need to learn those.  but the most interesting thing I learned was about the disown command.

 
linkslice-4:~ Bryan$ /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb &
linkslice-4:~ Bryan$ disown %%
linkslice-4:~ Bryan$ exit

Then in another shell note that it's still running.
