title: Unix Background process STOPPED abnormally
body: <p>I executed a perl script in background using the following command</p>
  
  <pre><code>nohup perl myPerlSCript.pl &gt;debug_log &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After few minutes I got the status as </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[1]+ Stopped</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I wasn't expecting it to stop, nor do I know what stopped it. How can I debug this and find out why it stopped? I am actually interested in knowing the unix commands to debug.</p>
