I'm trying to get a program (liveice) to run in the background, however 
the shell always tells me that the process was suspended due to tty 
output, etc.  I've done the obvious:

nohup program &

and when it reported that it suspended the process because it needed a 
tty for output, I tried various redirections:

nohup program > /dev/null 2>&1 &
nohup program >& /dev/null &

and so on.  Is there a way to make the process think it has a tty when 
it really doesn't?  The second cmd actually works under linux, but then 
linux won't fit on a flash disk too easily.

Thanks,

Dan
