Want to run the given command in the background as root or other user? Try:
```
sudo -b /path/to/job.py
sudo --background /path/to/foo.pl
sudo -u {user_name} -b /path/to/job.py
```
Please note that you can't use shell job control to manipulate background processes started by sudo which is both pro and con at a time.
