  DESCRIPTION

    This command is a built-in command in the C shell and the Korn shell.

  C shell

    The bg(1) command puts the specified jobs (or, if no job is specified, the
    current job) into the background, continuing each if it is stopped. The
    job argument can be a number, a string, %, +, -, or omitted. For more
    information, see "Jobs" in csh(1).

  Korn shell

    The bg(1) command resumes the specified stopped job or jobs in the
    background. If no jobs are specified, the current job (%+) is assumed. For
    more information, see "Job Control" in ksh(1).
