How To:The whimsical stty...2..Sending a foreground process to background
Sometimes just after entering the command for running a process which is going to talke lonnnngggg time,we realize that we shud have start it in background mode.
To do so..suspend it...the send it to the background.
The commands:
$lonnng_process --ran in fg mode
Press ^z.The process will be suspended( not killed ).
^Z[1] + Stopped (SIGTSTP) lonnng_process
$
Its telling the process has been suspended.
Now just tell it to send it to background.
$bg
[1] lonnng_process &
&
If u have suspended more than one processes then send it to bg by spefying number like:
$bg %1 --or
$bg %2
In the same way you can take a background process to foreground.
