You can start the process and push them to backgroud with bg command.

If I wanna start a program in the background I simply add a & at the end.
./a &
./b &
should do is.

You can start the process and push them to backgroud with bg command.

directly typing bg over a running process wont do anything, rather issue a CTRL-z (to stop it, SIGSTOP) and then type bg to run it in back ground.
BTW, fg will again push is to foreground.

A little better method is using the nohup as well (stands for no hangup after logout, so when your shell ends, it keeps on running)
So:
# nohup ./a &
# nohup ./b &

Nohup will also redirect all stdout to go in the textfile nohup.out.

check man pushd and popd just stack them up.

check man pushd and popd just stack them up.

pushd and popd are commands for managing your shell's directory stack.

pushd and popd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know what they do, just trying to get the o-p to do a little research, sounds like a homework assignment.

check: command1 || command2 or command1 && command2

Ther are many ways to do what he wants to do.

nohup ./a &./b &

with this command both will run in background
