[SOLVED] Help with terminal/konsole

I have an application that I use for downloading content from .nzb files called sabnzbd.  I really love how it works, and I was amazed there was a package for it in AUR!!

Anyways, to run this package, I have to type sabnzbd into the terminal, but whenever i close the terminal, it crashes the application.  How woudl I go about making maybe an icon in my KDE menu to launch it, or just get it to launch another way without having to leave the terminal open the whole time i use it?

thanks

There are several ways, but I would install screen.  Then in you ~/.bashrc, add

alias sabnzbd='screen -d -m sabnzbd'

And it will no longer stop when you close the terminal.

Alright, that worked great.  I'm guessing I can apply the same command to any other command now that I have screen installed?

thanks
