What is a process?

Explain 'foreground' and 'background' processes.


Foreground and background processes are terms used in operating systems to describe how
processes are executed.

Foreground Processes:

 Run directly in the terminal or console where they were started.


 Require user interaction to continue.
 Block other processes from running until they are finished.

Background Processes:

 Run in the background, detached from the terminal or console where they were
started.
 Do not require user interaction to continue.
 Allow other processes to run simultaneously.

Examples:

 Foreground process: Opening a text editor and typing a document. The text editor
process runs in the foreground, requiring your input to continue.
 Background process: Running a long-running task like a backup or compression
operation in the background. The process will continue to run even if you close the
terminal or switch to another application.

Starting background processes:


To start a process in the background, you can typically use the & symbol at the end of the
command. For example:

Bash
long_running_command &
Use code with caution.

This will start the command in the background, allowing you to continue using the terminal for
other tasks.
