List,
I used CTRL+Z to stop a task, how do I get it back? Is there a way to
start a task into the background? Can I start a stoped job and have it run
in the background? What should `man` to learn?

if you know the process id you can ( in bash ) use the 'fg' command.
read bash's man page.  you can use the 'ps' command to get the pids
for your currently running and suspended  processes.

But PIDs are too much bother - when you can just use the job number! Use 'jobs' to display a list of running jobs, and then refer to it as '%<jobno> - eg:

kill -9 %1 # to kill job no. 1 with signal 9
bg %2 # to start job no. 2 in background

- etc etc.
