I cannot figure out how to get the job to detach -- the rsh always waits for the job to finish, which is not what I want. I just want to fire up a command on a remote machine and forget about it. -- Joe Buehler -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
