[18:58] <SerWou> how to launch several applications at the same time on a same command line ? i though it was ";"
[19:15] <fake> SerWou: depends.
[19:15] <fake> SerWou: if the applications stay in foreground, each command will be started after the previous one returned.
[19:16] <fake> SerWou: if you want to start multiple applications that don't return before you want the next one started, you could use '&;
[19:16] <fake> '&'
[19:16] <fake> app1 & app2 & app3
[19:17] <fake> if you do 'app1 & app2 & app3 &' you'll get your shell back instantly
[19:20] <SerWou> yes
[19:20] <SerWou> thanks
[19:20] <SerWou> i forgot that one more time ;)
[19:27] <th> fake: that's not true
[19:27] <th> fake: you need app1 & ; app2 & ; app3 &
[19:33] <tfing> th: fake is right
[19:34] <fake> oh
[19:34] <th> tfing: no.
[19:34] <th> just do a : date ; sleep 10 & sleep 10 & sleep 10 ; date
[19:34] <th> Sun Mar 13 19:34:16 CET 2005
[19:34] <th> [3] 1813
[19:34] <th> [4] 1814
[19:34] <th> [1]   Done                    sleep 10
[19:34] <th> [2]   Done                    sleep 10

[19:34] <th> Sun Mar 13 19:34:26 CET 2005
[19:35] <tfing> th: so what ?
[19:36] <tfing> you just proved that sleep 10 & sleep 10 & sleep 10 spawns 3 sleep in parallel
[19:36] <tfing> which is what SerWou wants
[19:36] <tfing> if i understood correctly
[19:37] <th> tfing: "< fake> if you do 'app1 & app2 & app3 &' you'll get your shell back instantly"
[19:37] <th> tfing: if that would be true the date outputs would not differ 10 seconds
[19:38] _Ragnar__ (loki@66-146-166-62.skyriver.net) joined #rocklinux.
[19:38] <tfing> th: that's because you put a & and not a ; before the last date
[19:38] <tfing> err
[19:38] <tfing> th: that's because you put a ; and not a & before the last date
[19:39] <th> oh yea
[19:39] <th> sorry.
