Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Suppress a background message in Bash Post 302564127 by Azrael on Thursday 13th of October 2011 02:10:05 AM

Trying to get the "Terminated" message to not display. Even though the new instance of the script keeps running, a message will pop up saying "Terminated" (caused by killing the old instance's pid) and then a new command prompt. If you wait a second the new instance will give more output, but I don't want it to look to the user that the script has crashed. That's basically all.
