Run programs in background...
 
Hi everybody!

with the following command it is possible to start a program at the prompt in the background.

"# top &"

Is it possible to get the program back to the foreground?

thanks...

You can use the fg command

It's a shell builtin. So you'll have to read about it in the bash man page. I don't know what it would be named in other shells.
