what i did is...
used the below code in my script..but it is not printing anything on the screen. but still i'm getting proper output.
But if the messages comes in the screen then the script will look better so please help me..
Hello all,
How do I start a background process and save the process id to a file on my system. For example %wait 5 & will execute and print the process id. I can't figure out how to get it to a file. I've tried: > filename 0>filename 1>filename.
Any assistance is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim... (10 Replies)

xrefresh
XREFRESH(1) General Commands Manual XREFRESH(1)NAME
xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen
SYNOPSIS
xrefresh [-option ...]
DESCRIPTION
Xrefresh is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted. This is useful when system messages have messed up
your screen. Xrefresh maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immediately unmaps it, causing refresh events to be
sent to all applications. By default, a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint ``smoothly.'' However, the
various options can be used to indicate that a solid background (of any color) or the root window background should be used instead.
ARGUMENTS -white Use a white background. The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then repaint.
-black Use a black background (in effect, turning off all of the electron guns to the tube). This can be somewhat disorienting as
everything goes black for a moment.
-solid color
Use a solid background of the specified color. Try green.
-root Use the root window background.
-none This is the default. All of the windows simply repaint.
-geometry WxH+X+Y
Specifies the portion of the screen to be repainted; see X(7).
-display display
This argument allows you to specify the server and screen to refresh; see X(7).
X DEFAULTS
The xrefresh program uses the routine XGetDefault(3) to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized.
Black, White, Solid, None, Root
Determines what sort of window background to use.
Geometry
Determines the area to refresh. Not very useful.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY - To get default host and display number.
SEE ALSO X(7)BUGS
It should have just one default type for the background.
