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

I fixed the script and now it works exactly as I want :

nohup /usr/sbin/bhyve -S -c sockets=2,cores=2,threads=2 -m 8G -w -H -A \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s
1,virtio-blk,/mnt/zroot2/zroot2/bhyve/img/Linux/Ubuntu2310.img,bootindex=1
\
-s 11,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \
-s 13,virtio-net,tap19 \
-s 14,virtio-9p,sharename=/ \
-s 30,xhci,tablet \
-s 31,lpc \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI_CODE.fd \
vm0:19</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
if test -f nohup.out; then rm -r nohup.out
fi

very thanks for your help.
