I was trying to duplicate this behavior, but whatever I do to put KMyMoney into the background and close the console will also close KMyMoney. I guess, I will learn something new when you describe how you do that exactly. I am using Konsole as the terminal program. > Would the easiest change be to 'echo > /dev/null' ?

I am glad that we finally know what causes the problem. I had never thought of your use case. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA ------------------------------------------------------------- 'Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor.' -- Cory Doctorow: Little brother -------------------------------------------------------------
