Even though I am using Unix-like operating systems for decades but one thing I am still struggling with is job control.

I.e. I start a long running process with output like rsync -av in my terminal. I know about ctrl-z and bg. But output is not detached. What I want is sending also the output to the background and getting it to the foreground from time to time to check on the status.

I rarely have long running tasks without output, so I always wonder what to do with job control. #linux #bsd
