ehehehehe
If you put in CTRL + C.. you can't forget CTRL + Z
If you want to make way for another console application, start the first application, hit CTRL + Z, then type 'bg' without the quotes. This will successfully send the application to the background.
Sometimes, when you send an application to the background, it still outputs to the terminal, and can be a major annoyance. To stop this, let's say we're trying to run a doom 3 dedicated server...
In this example, we send the terminal output to a log file, thereby, making the terminal empty.
The doom 3 executable is called 'doom3-dedicated'.
# ./doom3-dedicated >& doom3server.log &
.......^
executes the file
.................................^
.......tells the application to send output to ...
..........................................^ that file.
Do you want to be able to do lots of things at once, such as mount two cds and copy files from both, all at one time? (I was copying the pak files from D3 to my HDD)
the & symbol can be used two ways in a command line that i am aware of.
The first way, is to use one &.
# mount /data/hdc & mount /data/hdd (&& cp -R /mnt/*.pk4) < dont type the parenthesys part _yet_
What that command did, was mounted the two drives at the same time. Exact same time. So, one & means to do command A & command B at the same time. Now for two &'s.
# cd apache2 && ./configure && make && make install
That command tells the system to wait until the previous command is complete.
ONE MORE THING!
Want to find out your device famerate compared to other linux cards?
Go to a console, and type glxgears Watch the terminal output!
Whtat that did,

Welcome aboard Jennifervn. I do hope you learn more from this than I did!
