Viewing Programs Running From CRON

[Gerard Seibert]

I have asked many dumb questions before, and this will no doubt add to
the list.

Scenario:

I start a program from CRON. As an example, let us use
/sysutils/portmanager. Now this program is being run in the background.
How do I get it to run in the foreground so that I can view what it is
doing, and or stop it if I want to? If I succeed in that maneuver, can I
place it in the background again?

I hope that I am explaining this correctly.
