My groupname.res file looks like this on the client: 

type: savepnpc;
precmd:  "/bin/bash /etc/init.d/mysql stop";
pstcmd:  "/bin/bash /etc/init.d/mysql start";
timeout:  "12:00:00";
abort precmd with group:  Yes;

When the backup runs, I am getting the output of these commands on the console 
(when I am on tty1).  Looks like this:

root@limes:/nsr/res#  * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld .... done

This takes away my prompt until I press enter... is there anyway to surpress 
this?  I have admins working on this server that are receiving this output.  
This occurs even when I am logged out.
