How do you execute a UNIX command in the background?

Answer Posted / c sivakumar

First give a command. After the enter key then give
control+z once doing this, process will be stop which you
executed. After that you have to give 'bg' again it will
start the process in back ground mode(bg). It is
applicable for script too. If you want to swich on to
foreground just give 'fg' fg will give background
process to foreground
