Starting a script to run in the background is simple: append '&' to the command line. When the script runs for a few hours and I forget to start it in the background (as I did today) I'd like to pause it (using ctrl-z) and continue running it in the background.
My web searches show how to start scripts running in the background and how to pause them prior to bring them back to the foreground, but I missed seeing a solution to pausing then continuing processing in the background. Seems to me that I should be able to pause the running script (PID: 10952 pts/0 S+ 0:00 sleep 15) or whatever the PID is when I pause the script, then run bg 10952 to re-start it in background mode. Is this correct? Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
