bg: Resume a specific job (use `jobs -l` to get its ID) and run it in the background.
$ bg %${job_id}
try on your machine
The command "bg %${job_id}" is used to push a suspended job to the background.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "bg" is a built-in command in Unix-like operating systems that is used to resume a suspended job and run it in the background.
- "%" is a shell operator used to refer to a specific job by its job ID.
- "${job_id}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual job ID you want to push to the background.
So, essentially, this command takes a specific job identified by its job ID and resumes it, allowing it to continue running in the background.
