The cleanest way to do this is not with job control but with a tool like
"screen". Install it (app-misc/screen) and start programs with it. You
also start a shell in screen. For example:
screen su - USERNAME
Now you can press CTRL+A, D to detach the screen. The programs in it
will continue running in the background. To re-attach, type "screen -r".
You can read the docs of this tool to learn about all nifty stuff you
can do with it, like opening more screen windows from the same screen
session and switch between them.
