Using ksh. I want to call script_B from script_A. I don't not want script_A to hang around for script_B to finish. I tried bg but no joy. Script_A sits and waits for script_B to finish before moving on; which is no good. Any thoughts and thank you.

inside script_A: (script_B &) The parentheses may not be required, my man page was for ksh on SGI, I don't have it on my SuSE 8.2 box. YMMV & all that. -- William A.
