RE: UNIX QUESTION.

I'm not sure on the Unix side, but that Windows command will fire the copy off in a separate window and immediately return command to sqlplus, whilst the copying is still occurring.

eg, consider the different behaviour of the following 2 commands under Windows SQLPlus: SQL> host start cmd /c pause
SQL> host pause

For Unix, Would you need to get the job to run in the background (via a & maybe) to achieve the same effect?

HTH,
