Foreground and background tasks
I think the issue here is with a user with no accessibility to X, so multi-tasking can be done from the console(terminal). The returned number represents the process number and the process ID given to the command. Now to bring back this command (process)to the foreground we use the command fg associated with the process number, in our example it would be Now to suspend our lovely process and send it again to the background we would use These steps can be done with several processes sending them and bringing them to and from the background, this way you have a fully working multi-tasking terminal.
