Can anyone please help me in sending the Fluent iterations to the background of the Unix environment. I have problem of people logging out the machine when my program is running.The software is in a server.

Ammu, give you executable comment with an & sign.

for eg:

> run_fluent & and then you may logout.

Actually, to keep the job running in the background after you log out you need to prefix your command with the 'nohub' command. Hope this helps.
