minus-squarefelsiq@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoLooks like I’ve gotten too spoiled with zsh, I guess that doesn’t work with bash. Doing it in two separate commands should work tho, ie firefox -p & and then disown
minus-squarealiceitc@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 month agoit should be enough to put a space between & and ; like this: firefox -p & ; disown but I’m not 100% sure. I’m also very spoiled by zsh, and I also remember encountering this issue.

minus-squarealiceitc@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoThanks for the correction. I read the bash documentation and I think you simply don’t need the ;. The & is already a command separator, just like ; Tested with bash: sleep 100 & echo test prints right away. https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Lists
