Controlling multiple processes

Unlike MS-DOS and some other systems, with Unix you can have several processes (commands) executing at the same time.

To create and control multiple processes, you'll need to understand these topics:

• `Running processes in sequence'
• `What is a background process?'
• `Running processes in parallel'
• `What is a suspended process?'
• `Resuming a suspended process'
• `Finding your processes'
• `Killing a process'
