Yes.  The switch has the syntax

	>/dev/null 2>&1

in the Bourne shell and Bourne-compatible shells and

	>&/dev/null

in the C shell and C-shell-compatible shells.  Add those strings before
the "&" at the end of your command line. :-)

(I.e., if you want to suppress output from a backgrounded program, send
the output to "/dev/null".)
