The <code>fg</code> command allows us to continue a stopped operation by running it

|
|
|
|
in foreground.<br>

The command name stands for <i>foreground</i>.<br><br>

<h3>Usage</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default fg command syntax is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
fg [%job_number]
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The parameter [%job_id] contains the job number you wish to run in foreground.
|
|
|
|
|
If this is not indicated, the command will run the last stopped operation.<br><br>
|
|
|

<h3>Stop a working job</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To stop the execution of a command so that i can be later resumed with <code>fg</code>
|
|
|
|
|
you need to press the <code>ctrl + Z</code> keys. The job number to be used with the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>fg</code> command will be printed.
