Dear fellow VMDers,

I'm trying to run VMD-1.8.4 in textmode as a background job on a Linux
machine (I tried 32 bit single processor and AMD64 machine with 4
processors)

My problem is that whenever I'm trying to use "&" or Ctrl-z to start the
job in the background e.g.

vmd -dispdev text -e run-volmap.tcl > vmd.out &

then it says

Killed: vmd -dispdev text -e run-volmap.tcl > vmd.out &

and the related processes keep loitering in the process table but don't
consume any CPU time.

Does anybody have an idea how to achieve that?

Regards,
Jan
