Running a command in background?

 AAron,
Well, there may or may not be a third way to get a stopped job on linux. 
 On HPUX you could get a stopped job when you did something like this:
myprog > myprog_output &
For some reason, it really didn't like redirecting standard out to a 
file from the background.  I don't think I've seen this behaviour in 
Linux have you?
