1) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : How do I run BOINC without a parent terminal? (Message 26171) Posted 19 Jan 2007 by old_user29115 Post: >/dev/null sends all the output that would normally be shown on the terminal screen to a linux version of \'nowhere\'. The ampersands release the terminal from the job (works with any command so you can carry on using the terminal after the job has run). Not sure about the 2>&1.
