Linux is an operating system that allows people to use it on the desktop. There have been applications that have been created simply for Linux. When a user is making changes to a software program, the user will type information and codes on a command line. When the command line is altered by adding or taking away symbols or words, then the software changes. It could be a small change or a big change.
If a user wants to make a change in the background, he or she will need to most likely use the ampersand symbol which looks like this: &. The shell script is the same as the command. When the user wants to execute a command in the background, then the user should put an & at the end of the command line.
