I tried
bg $$
but $$ is the current process invoked just as $! is the process
of a backgrounded process started by that shell.
So, can I make a shell script background itself after
starting?
Right now, I remind my coworkers to append the & after the
script name. the bg command expects a job number, not a process
ID.
