Thank you Laurent,

That's exactly what I needed! Job control is a wonderful thing indeed.

Wrote a function "fga":

https://github.com/harkaitz/sh-alert-scripts/blob/master/etc/profile.d/fga.sh

The sad part is that I can't do that with Busybox for Windows, at
least I don't know how, no CTRL-Z available. At my work a
modified version of Busybox for Windows is used heavily for CI
(Gitlab+Windows+Busybox), I like to test the scripts beforehand and
usually they last long.
