Hunter,
fg% can bring the job to foreground. What actually killerserv wants is run the stopped process in the background.
I have tried to resume a stopped process with bg%.
but the job is still not running although it may be in the background. I am having similar observations as Killerserv had..
Well it works for me. After you background a job, does the "jobs" command say it is running? Does "ps" say it is running?
And bear in mind that if a background job attempts to write to the controlling terminal and the controlling terminal has tostop set on, a SIGTTOU will be sent to the background process. If that is happening and you don't want it to, then type "stty -tostop".
