    Hi,

    I use AIX 5.3 in a P570 server with micro-partition technology.
    i use putty terminal emulator to remotely connect to my server.
    Iam facing a problem when i execute any commands in the background using '&'.
    Though i will get back the prompt after i execute the command in the background,my session will hang immediately after and will be actie only when the job scheduled in the background is finished.
    Can any one help us in knowing what causes this problem.

    Thanks
    cs.
