There's also the shell's built-in job control, though that introduces problems of having to save output somewhere so you can be sure you don't miss anything...
Example:
$ ./some_long_running_command.sh 2>&1 | tee some_logfile.log
<hit Ctrl-Z>
$ bg
$ <do whatever else you need to do>
$ fg # returns you to ./some_long_running_command.sh
