In this respect, phenix.refine is like any other Unix command.
It will work if you direct both "stdout" and "stderr" to a file,
e.g. in tcsh:
phenix.refine model.pdb data.mtz >& logfile &
I think newer bash versions also support the simple ">&" syntax.
It is a good habit to redirect the output of all background jobs
in this way.
The --quiet option pointed out by others is a good idea, too. But to
be sure a background command doesn't hang always use the redirection
to a file.

No, sorry. We will address this at some point in the future.
