Quieting & background jobs in sh and ksh

[Bill Stewart 201-949-0705 ho95c.att.com!wcs]

I want to put a command into background without getting the process-id
echoed by the shell.  I've tried variants on
	nohup foo >/dev/null 2>&1 &
but still get the process-id back in /bin/sh and the [jobnumber] pid
in ksh.  Is there any way to silence this?

		Thanks;  Bill
