- Eh? I always thought that being able to push a running UNIX process in the background
- with Ctrl-Z and call it back later with FG, together with the BG and JOBS commands,
- were UNIX *shell* commands, and thus implemented by the shell, not by the UNIX
- kernel?!? If I'm wrong, please tell me.
-
- In this case, just get an OS/2 port of a csh of some kind that has job control built-in.
- I know that OS/2 has more types of sessions than UNIX, but without job control in the
- shell, it wouldn't work anyway. If you just run OS/2 text mode aps, I can imagine the
- shell arbitrating console access easily. And running other (PM) jobs from a shell
- does not need BG/FG switching -- being an PM app.
