suspend a *background* running job
Is there a way to suspend (TSTP?) a job that is running in the background, _without_ first bringing it to the foreground and inputting Ctrl-Z from the keyboard?
IOW, something similar to issuing the shell's bg builtin command on a job ID to resume a job that is suspended in the background, except here we want to _suspend_ a job that is already running in the background.
Cheers

Hiya,
Recently I've run a few scripts in the foreground, but have realised later they should of been better nohup'd and placed in the background. I understand how to change a foreground job into a background one, but how would put the job into the nohup state?
