detach a process

[Joel Hammer]

That should work. You can also see what jobs are running in the background
with:
jobs

There are a number of commands you can use to control jobs running
in the background or the foreground. After all, unix/linux began as a
commandline interface with only a single available screen.

I would read:
man bash
:
/    JOB CONTROL
