Re: UNIX machine and special character &
Dear
the problem in the "&" character not in the "|" character
first i tried the "&" and it did not work and i got an error message
so I tried different solution which is using the "|&" and it works in the shell directly but did not work using the call command of the winscp

:D :D :DWhen you are trying to "background a process", I believe you are supposed to just use "&", but you are using "|&". I've never seen "piped to and" before. You normally use pipe when there is another command after the pipe, but just use "&" when you want to "background the process".
As prikryl said this may still not work in non-interactive shells, but I just thought I'd mention that the "|&" looks odd to me, so try it without the "|", just to make sure that don't work either.
You could also try to make mmlmacro background itself...or make a version that will background itself mmlmacro-bg.
