title: How can I put a process to background after its execution with broken CTRL+Z?
body: <p><em>The question is special because some keys, such as CTRL+Z, stopped working.</em></p>
  
  <p>I tried to put the process to background by typing in the order:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>find / </li>
    <li>CTRL+Z</li>
    <li>bg </li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, I can still see the stdout. The only difference to only doing the first step is that the command CTRL+Z does not work anymore. It is rather nasty when I have unsaved jobs and my harddrive is over 100GB. So </p>

  <p>The problem is really that I do not understand the "ramifications" of running process background. I cannot understand why the commnands, such as CTRL+Z, do not work to background processes. I was still able to kill the process in another shell with the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ps -ej | awk '! /grep/ &amp;&amp; /find/ {print $2}' | xargs kill -9
  </code></pre>
