Bash Background Job
Put & at the end of a command to run it as a background job. The prompt comes back at once, while the command keeps running.
jobs lists your jobs, fg brings one back to the front, and kill %1 stops job number 1. Bash tells you at the next prompt when a background job has ended.
Start, list and stop a job
Bash prints the job number and the process ID (yours will differ):
sleep 60 &
[1] 1234
jobs
[1]+ Running sleep 60 &
kill %1
