Moving mprun Processes to the Background

When you move either a process started with mprun or a script that issues mprun commands to the background, you must do one of the following:

• Redirect stdin away from the terminal.

• Specify the -n option to mprun so that standard in will be read from /dev/null. See "Specifying the Behavior of I/O Streams" for a detailed discussion of standard I/O issues.

If you do not take one of these steps, the mprun process will contend with your shell for characters typed at the shell, leading to unexpected results.
