everyone knows about the & prefix which sends applications in the consul to the background .

but how about an application which is already running, can wen send into background while it is running?

In most shells, you can hit Ctrl-Z (which suspends the process). Then you can type bg to put it in the background, or fg to bring it back to the foreground.
