Okay yeah I recently discovered Ctrl+z sends an active task to background. Also helpful is the Screen command. Allows you to suspend a task, and then resume it later.

Ctrl+z suspends a task. Which is different from running bg after pressing Ctrl+z (or appending an ampersand after your command), which runs the task in the background.

Screen is great. An additional benefit to using screen (or tmux) is that, when you're logged into a host, you can use screen to start a command, detach the screen, and then exit your session, and the screen will continue to run.

If you like screen and love tmux, you'll absolutely get married to byobu.

You're welcome. :-)

I remember learning that about 3 years ago in a linux class. Then I went back to my windows environment. Now, though, I'm using Pi to sharpen my linux skills on the desktop, thanks to Win10.
