Is there a way to make bash job control quiet?

Question

Bash is quite verbose when running jobs in the background: ``` $ echo toto& toto [1] 15922 [1]+ Done echo toto ``` Since I'm trying to run jobs in parallel and use the output, I'd like to find a way to silence bash. Is there a way to remove this superfluous output?

Accepted Answer

You can use parentheses to run a background command in a subshell, and that will silence the job control messages. For example:

```
(sleep 10 & )
```
