Even though Germany is a big country, don't expect everyone to understand
German on an english-language mailing list.

What you want is to add an & at the end of your command to run it in the
background. you can use the "fg" command to bring it back to foreground
and Control-Z to suspend it.

by the way: this is not an openbsd question but a very simple shell
