You're already there. Just start the process, enter any input needed, ^Z it and use bg pid to put it in the background (Replace pid with the pid # as I'm guessing you know). Or ^Z, type jobs and then bg %1 or whatever job number comes up instead of 1. Then you can use fg the same way to put it in the fg of course. > Also, I was wondering if it is possible to make a process run for example on > ttyv3 when sshd in and su'd to root, basically to route the output to a > virtual console and transfer the control of it to there. Thanks for the > help:) I think Nick was referring to your second question and screen should work for that I guess.
