You should also redirect stdin, like this:

		tbinit < /dev/null > tbinit.log 2>&1 &

And this is, by the way, syntax for ksh or sh.  If you use csh, then
the syntax is slightly different:

			tbinit < /dev/null >& tbinit.log &

This "< /dev/null" is not strictly necessary, because csh generally
does that automatically when putting something in background (with
"&").  However, there may be subtlties to that, such as "only for
interactive shells" or similar; I'm not sure.  Besides, it's cheap
insurance.
