The process is trying to read from a terminal that it no longer is the controlling terminal for. This process will be stopped until a [SIGCONT] is sent. This signal can be caught and ignored, see [SIGTSTP], [SIGSTOP] and [SIGCONT]
An example is:
bash$ cat > /dev/null &
- [1] 31731
- [1] + suspended (tty input) cat
+ [
[1] 31731
+ [
[1] + suspended (tty input) cat
By default, cat will read from standard input, but the & character means that this command is run in the background, and the terminal's input goes back to the shell. When cat tries to read from the terminal's stdin, a SIGTTIN signal is raised.
