Linux CLI - Process Management

You ran sleep 300 & and then jobs shows the job as stopped. Which command will resume the job in the background?

Akill %1

Bbg %1

Cfg %1

Dstop %1

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand job states and commands
A stopped job is paused. The bg command resumes it in the background, while fg resumes it in the foreground.
Step 2: Choose correct command for background resume
Since the question asks to resume in background, bg %1 is correct. kill terminates, and stop is invalid here.
Final Answer:
bg %1 -> Option B
Quick Check:
Resume stopped job in background = bg %job_number [OK]

Quick Trick: Use bg %job_number to resume stopped jobs in background [OK]
