Hello fellow monks, I don't know if my post is appropriate here, but I thought I give it a shot...
I have a perl script that calls some C scripts (which I have not written myself). I call the C scripts using the print `` command in my perl script and the C scripts run on the shell.
What I wanted to ask is the following: My scripts (both perl and C) run ok, but, since I have all the programs run on a server machine, I want to put the process in the background so that I can close my terminal. The thing is that the C programs show some output while they are executed and, when I tried to use perl my_program.pl > res &, the output of the C programs kept appearing on my screen.
I found something like 1>&2 on the Internet, is that correct?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
