[Solved] open an app whitout monopolizing the terminal

[WhyDub]

Hi,
i wonder if it is possible to open an app in the terminal without monopolizing it whit the process related to this app for example okular which i use often. so i can still use the same terminal windows to do something else if i want.

thanks.

You may need to Ctrl-C to get the prompt back for some applications.
