# & — Put in background
node server.js &                 # Returns terminal immediately after starting

> 💡 ヒント：コマンドの末尾に`&`を付けるとバックグラウンドで実行され、ターミナルがすぐに解放されます。ただし、`&`だけではターミナルセッション終了時にプロセスも終了します。ターミナルを閉じてもプロセスを継続させるには、`nohup`と組み合わせます：`nohup command &`。
sleep 30 &                       # Run sleep in background

# jobs/fg/bg — Manage background jobs
jobs                            # List background jobs
# [1]+  Running                 node server.js &
# [2]-  Running                 sleep 30 &
fg %1                          # Bring job 1 to foreground
bg %2                          # Resume paused job 2 in background

# Ctrl+Z — Suspend current foreground job and put in background
# Ctrl+C — Terminate foreground job

# nohup — Keep running after terminal closes
nohup node server.js &
nohup python app.py > app.log 2>&1 &

> ℹ️ 注意：`nohup` + `&`が永続的バックグラウンドコマンドの標準組み合わせ — `nohup`はSIGHUPシグナル（ターミナル終了時に送信）を無視し、`&`はバックグラウンド実行。出力はデフォルトで`nohup.out`に書き込まれます。ログファイルを手動指定することを推奨：`nohup command > app.log 2>&1 &`。
