      I had a spark of glee seeing another fish shell user.

      I used “job control” a lot but never called it that. And I mostly would background or foreground tasks. I didn’t know about a few of those additional commands talked about. Disown will be pretty handy.

        yeah I had no idea about disown, Jesus the number of times I could have used that, I might have never learned tmux or screen :)

        Hello fellow fish user.

        Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do ‘launch foo’ and it’ll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that’s necessary, but doesn’t hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.
