How to suppress "Terminated..." message after kill
My bash program basically does: tail -f file >outfile & killpid=$! ... kill $killpid >/dev/null 2>&1 ... Still I get the message (PID) Terminated tail -f file >outfile at the end of my script. Is there a way to suppress this message?

Job control is enabled. This option is on by default for interactive shells on systems that support it (see JOB CONTROL above). Background pro- cesses run in a separate process group and a line con- taining their exit status is printed upon their comple- tion. Why is monitor set for your script? That would only be typical for interactive shells but not typical for scripts. Figure out why monitor mode is enabled for your script and you will have the answer to both this problem and others that you have not noticed yet.
