If your backgrounded program stops when it tries to write to the
terminal, you might want to unset tostop on the terminal via stty(1):

     tostop (-tostop)
                 Send (do not send) SIGTTOU for background output.  This
                 causes background jobs to stop if they attempt terminal out­
                 put.
