ANSWER: Run a program in the background means some processes running in hthe background and working simultaneously in the Linux system you may sometimes want to run the process in the background to continue working on your command while the background process finishes its work. Linux system allows for a simultaneous process execution and ability to run programs in the foreground, background. By this ability you can work more efficiently suppose there is a program which needs more time then you can send it to the background process and in the foreground, you can do any other task.
