Hi,
I'm new to the Onion Omega and I'd like to learn how to use it properly.
For starters I installed Shairport-sync to stream audio to the omega (using this tutorial https://wiki.onion.io/Projects/How-To-Stream-music-Using-Airplay/1.Installing-ShairportSync)

I've installed it and it works. When I manually start the process in the terminal of the Onion Console it says:

root@Omega-BF19:~# shairport-sync restart
Successful Startup

However, after this I cannot input any commands any more because the command line is blanc. How can I make it go back to:

root@Omega-BF19:~#

Add an ampersand ("&") to then end of the command and it'll run in the background.

If you want the command to continue even when you're not logged in, add "nohup" to the beginning.

Thanks, that worked!
