Hi all,
Just something I've been wondering about:
I know it's possible to push a running job into the background with
ctrl-z. But that stops the job too. Is it possible to keep it running,
as if you'd invoked it with a &?
As I understand it, saying "foo &" forks foo off as a separate process,
whereas just saying "foo" runs foo as a child (?) process with the same
pid as the parent. The question then becomes, is it possible to make it
seem as if a child process becomes detached from it's parent?
Thanks,
--Jeff
