1. [Background Jobs: &, jobs, fg and bg](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/bash-background-jobs) (Journeyman): An & at the end of a command runs it in the background and gives you the prompt back; jobs lists what's running, Ctrl+Z pauses the job in front, fg and bg bring a job back or let it carry on behind you, and nohup keeps a job running after the terminal closes.
