How to run command in foreground then send to background I need to run my application in foreground of linux terminal, send some commands to my program and then send program to background. I'm not really sure how to do that?

I found the solution with the help of alienth and this site :

When you want to send some application which is running in foreground to background, you need to execute these two commands:


# [CTRL-Z]
[1]+ Stopped ./your_app

# bg


After this your process will continue its execution in background.
