exiting the repl console with a background process

Question

How do you exit from the repl console in sbt with a background process running? The following hangs:

$ sbt > console Welcome to Scala version 2.9.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_26).  scala> import scala.sys.process._ import scala.sys.process._  scala> "sleep 10000".run res0: scala.sys.process.Process = scala.sys.process.ProcessImpl$SimpleProcess@67219b8c  scala> <ctrl-d entered> ...hangs 

ctrl-c works, but kills sbt too. I suppose I'm looking for a letter between ctrl-c and ctrl-d.

Answer 1

Enter :q to quit the console (it will lead to some sort of hanging), and, then, ctrl+c.
