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?
