Sending application to background

All,

The application (Running on Unix or Linux) that we are trying to
develop has the following requirements:
1. We need to prompt for password at the start of the java application.
The application is started via a shell script. The password should be
masked.
- We did figure out a way to do this using Java.
2. After entering the password, the application should be sent to
background.
- This is where we are having problems. How do we send the process
to background so that the user gets back the shell prompt after he
enters the password.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Shekar Tippur
