Background Process (bg)

Background Process (Run processes in the background
Description
bg
supports two modes: it can either be run as a function block which will execute in the background, or it can take stopped processes and daemonize them.
Usage
POSIX only:
bg { code block }
bg fid
Examples
bg { sleep 5; out "Morning" }
Detail
The examples above will work on any system (Windows included). However the ctrl+z
usage of backgrounding a stopped process (like Bash) is only supported on POSIX systems due to the limitation of required signals on non-platforms. This means the usage described in the examples is cross cross platform while bg int
currently does not work on Windows nor Plan 9.
