How do I run a (noninteractive) process in the backgound? I've tried various commands. I use to use submit, but that seems to only work for simple DCL scripts. I tried calling my program from such a script, but nothing appeared to happened and I never got any kind of notification about what happened. The OpenVMS books led me to believe that I could use spawn, but if I spawn it kinda gets stuck there... My process is running, but it isnt in the background and if I terminate connection it stops. So I'm at a loss here, can anyone tell how to run a compiled C program in the background when I'm not logged in? thanks alot, ralph
