title: Linux process in background - "Stopped" in jobs?
body: <p>I'm currently running a process with the <code>&amp;</code> sign.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ example &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, (please note i'm a newbie to Linux) I realised that pretty much a second after such command I'm getting a note that my process received a stopped signal. If I do</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ jobs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'll get the list with my example process with a little note "Stopped". Is it really stopped and not working at all in the background? How does it exactly work? I'm getting mixed info from the Internet.</p>
