From: Adam Luchjenbroers Subject: starting a program in the background and terminating it later Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002 23:52:39 +0930 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <200212292352.39723.Adam@Luchjenbroers.com> Reply-To: Adam@Luchjenbroers.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Would the means of doing this be dependant on program or is there a simple way I can always use. I want to write a SysV init script to start/stop the folding@home client program (running within a specific directory and run by the user "folding") Further information would be useful. -- "Windows has detected that a gnat has farted near your computer.
