AO is the command above supposed to operate like ^Z (suspend)?
AO i would not think so. i would think that such commands
AO detach from the terminal and run in the background
AO regardless of further commands in the foreground; however,
AO following the command above with fg brings the process to
AO the foreground, as if one had started a process in the
AO foreground and suspended it with ^Z. is this a bug?
No. This is normal behavior. ^Z merely suspends a program so that you may
work on other tasks. You can also run bg(1) to send the suspended process
into the background, at which time you will see something similar to the
following output:
[1]+ glxgears
fg(1) merely brings a backgrounded process to the foreground, regardless
whether it was sent into the background with an ampersand or bg(1).
