Oh yeah....and once the program is running in the background you can kill it wil a ctrl+c...if it runs for a long time and you need to stop it - you'll need to KILL it.

ps -fu username

Then 'kill <<PID>>' where the PID is the processid column int he ps output.

Quite important really if the process isn't self terminating!
