How do you run blocksat-rx in the background?

[VDelport]

For a long-term test, we would like to run blocksat-rx in the background. After the command "blocksat-rx - f ... -g ... &" blocksat-rx starts successfully, but is then ended, apparently because a terminal input is promptly queried.

Hi @VDelport ,

You are right. This is a known behavior, but which is configurable. A GNU Radio flowgraph can be generated both in a mode on which the user is prompted for exit, as well as in a mode where the app runs until completion (or explicit user termination).

We've just pushed a commit (19afecb) that changes the mode. After pulling the changes, run make and make install again.

Let us know if it helps.

Thank you for the quick reply and the hint. It works.
