Explanation:
Process can start either in foreground. Running the process in foreground allows only one
command can enter at a time because we will get the shell to type another command until finishing
the current command. But background process allows to run the more than one command at a
time. To run the process in background just append the & at the end of the command.
Example:
# find / -name passwd >result &
We can suspend the jobs running in foreground by pressing ctrl+z shortcut. As well as can resume
the suspended jobs either in background or foreground.
#fg % jobid : Runs the job in foreground
#bg % jobid : Runs the job in background
or
# fg command
# bg command
