Re: How to send a bhyve vm totally in background,suppressing any message produced by the bhyve script that I use.

Errata corrige. The vm didn't start because my bhyve executable is on
/usr/sbin ; but you keep it on /usr/bin ;
So,the vm starts and it is stored in the background. Only one problem
remains. The message "appending output to nohup.out" is displayed on the
screen. Is there a method to suppress it ? thanks.
