According to "Using C on the UNIX System" (O'Reilly & Assoc),
it's a little complicated doing this, because the backgrounded
job is no longer in the terminal's process group. They give
an example of how to do it with a C program, but I don't think
that's what you're looking for, and I'm not sharp enough to
be able to make a command-line entry out of the C code in the
book. Sorry.
