I don't have KDE installed on the computer.  Running just command line.  Was thinking I could run it like: nohup setiathome /dev/nul & > 1  Something like that if it's possible.

You could try:

cd "whatever you dir is for setiathome"
nohup ./setiathome >setiathome.log 2>&1 &

This sends all text messages to "setiathome.log" and the final "&" runs the job as a background task.

You can look at the text output file with "more" or "less" or "tail" or others. With linux you get lots of choice.

I monitor the output with "tail -f setiathome.log".

Use "man tail" for further details.


The first time you run it, you'll need the attach option. There's also utilities to monitor the state file and progress.

Good luck,
Martin
