Get blank screen when killing a UNIX session on HP-UX
Hi,
I have this Unix script that kills a user session. When I run it, my screen goes blank. How do I prevent the blank screen?
Ex: I open 2 Unix sessions. The main PID for my 1st session is 1234. In the second session I issue a "kill -HUP 1234". The first session gets killed but the second session goes blank (I must hit Enter to get a prompt again). I want to prevent this second session from going blank.
I have tried running the script in background (ie: &) and also redirected the output to /dev/null but nothing will do.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks.
