Type "jobs" to see a list of things running in the background. To bring one to the foreground, type "fg" followed by one of the numbers you see in the jobs list. Example: `# jobs [1]- Running sleep 15 & [2]+ Running sleep 20 & # fg 2 sleep 20 [1]- Done sleep 15` [download] EDIT: After you're done with something in the foreground and you want to go back to the background, type ctrl-z to stop it, then bg to restart it in the background.

`jobs` only lists jobs started by the current shell, which haven't detached themselves. This may be just what the OP wants, but that isn't clear from his post.	[reply] [d/l]
