If you 'ctrl+z' a command and then type 'bg' it puts it running in the 
background
- useful if you forgot to put the & at the end. (No help for nohup though).
You can bring it back to the foreground by typing 'fg' or 'jobs' if there is
more than one job in the background. Have a read of the man page for the
shell (the section about job control) for more about this.

Neill
