. To run a foreground process as a background job: . 1. Suspend the foreground process. 2. Enter the bg (background) command to move the process into the background. For example: lpr -Pps23 part[1-8].ps ^Z Stopped bg [1] lpr -Pps23 interface.ps jobs [1] Running lpr -Pps7 interface.ps . This starts a foreground process to print several files. The process is then stopped and the job moved into the background. The state of this job is then checked.

... We have been upgrading the software front-end to WASP (Wideband Autocorrelating SPectrometer, operating from 800 to 4000 MHz) from Lynx-OS to Real-Time Linux and will discuss Real-Time software aspects. We are using a standard parallel ``PIO'' card to receive data from the spectrometer and standard GPIB interfaces that drive a frequency synthesizer for bandpass calibration. WASP and its front-end computer are fully mobile and can be taken to any suitable radio telescope. ...
