What do the commands 'bg' and 'fg' do in a Linux terminal?

In a Linux terminal, the commands bg and fg are used to manage background and foreground jobs.

• bg: This command is used to resume a suspended job in the background. When you suspend a job (usually with Ctrl+Z), you can use bg to continue running it without occupying the terminal.

  Example:

  bg %1

  This resumes job number 1 in the background.

• fg: This command brings a background job to the foreground, allowing you to interact with it directly in the terminal.

  Example:

  fg %1

  This brings job number 1 to the foreground.

You can list jobs using the jobs command to see their status and job numbers.
