Under UNIX and most any modern OS (including Windows), there is no such
thing as "the background".  Every process runs all the time.  There is no
"foreground" process, which would be required to have "background"
processes.

(This is from the perspective of the kernel and the scheduler, not from the
perspective of a user on a terminal running a shell.)
