@Appleman5487 - Hi Appleman, sorry for the late response. Work has been busy, and stressful. I think that the videos in lesson 21 might help you.

However, to start a job in the background, put & sign at the end: "script.ksh &".

The output will still go to your screen. To capture the output:

"Script.ksh 1>Out.txt 2>&1 &". Normal output, and errors go to Out.txt.

If you want to be able to log out while the job is running, and not kill the job, put a "nohup in front" for no hangup.
