I use this to run rsync in background
rsync -avh /home/abc/abac /backups/ddd &
When i do that i see line saying 1 process stopped.
Now does that mean my process is still running ot it is stopped
It is probably trying to read from the terminal (to ask you for a password, perhaps). When a background process tries to read from the terminal, it gets stopped.
