Edit Question
Title
Body
I call a script in my .bashrc to print number of new messages I have when I open the terminal, I want the call to be non blocking as it accesses the network and sometimes takes a few seconds which means I can't use the terminal until it completes. However if I put: mailcheck & in my bashrc, it works fine. but then prints an empty line and I have when I press enter and it prints [1]+ Done ~/bin/mailcheck This is very messy is there a way around this?
