Run program as background job

[btopia]

I have a program test.exe , which is purely text-mode.

I tried to run it like

wine test.exe >& /dev/null &


However, the program is suspended.

Is there anyway I can put the program in the background running?

Thanks.

Is this a Windows program or a Dos program?

If it is DOS, you might want to look at dosbox and try using it.

If it is a Windows program, it may require more than what you are trying
and placing it in the background will suspend it.
