You shouldn't need to know the PID; `wait' alone will wait for all outstanding background processes (&) started with the shell to finish.
Works great for my needs this way. Thanks.
We do have such a partition already: /dev/hda2 is an (unformatted) 16MB scratch partition protected from being clobbered by upgrades.
I never really looked at that, I figured that it was the scratch and the OPUS fs partition was a backup of the critical files. Good to know I can use it. On mine it's showing 32 megs of space there.
I share your enthusiasm for turning the empeg into a development platform, and already have several thoughts about this. I'm hoping this list will give us the momentum and the means to support each other we need to do this successfully. I have more to say on this topic, but I'll save it until I think we've gathered enough audience...
That's what archives are for :-)
