i think it did not work because you have to do "exec make buildworld >
log.file & logout" dont know did not try it yet :)

Is ctrl+D the same as close exit or logout or does it stand for detach
and run in the background ? If i do ctrl +D in a terminal doing
nothing ? Will the terminal be runing forever in the background doing
nothing untill i kill it ?
Where can you find a list of csh ctrl commands ?
