Bash scripting problem..

Hopefully someone out there knows..

When placing a bash script from the bash shell into background, 
with the stdout piped to a file.. why does the script stop and ask for 
user input? (I don't think that it's this particular script in 
question as it happens for other scripts as well...)

(script follows)

I just have to 
call the script into forground and it goes again

bash$ net_load >>net_load.log &
(after a while)
[1]+  Stopped (tty input)     net_load >>net_load.log 2>1

Thanks in advance..
Paul
