Switching between different shells, application stops.
Hello,
If I'm running an application for like a long find command and I do a cntl-z I notice that what was running stops and I enter a new shell where I can enter commands etc,
When I return using the FG command what was running there doesn't seem to start running again.
I would like to know how I could switch to a different shell and still have what was running in the previous shell keep running.

Can this be done and if so how?
I a newbie using Centos5.0.
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Thanks
A Ctrl-z pauses execution. To have the job running
in the background use bg<enter> after the Ctrl-z.
