I am running jmeter by launching the .sh script, once I do that I cannot start using the prompt again unless I ctrl-z, ctrl-c, or the script ends in some other way.  How can I launch that script and still be able to use the same console after the script is launched.  (i used to know how to do this, it's easy =()I guess another way of putting it is how do I launch the script independently of the terminal.
Run script and not lose access to prompt / terminal
linux;shell script
You can start your script in the background by putting & at the end of the command; something likejmeter.sh &If you want to avoid seeing any output, see Silently start task in background.
