- If you do
-
- for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do sleep 100; done
-
- and then hit ^Z, only the sleep gets backgrounded, not the for loop.
- Repeat the ^Z's and you end up with 10 seperate background processes.
- This is presumably because the for loop is not a seperate process,
- still, after a user on my system managed to create 13 simultaneous big
- processes this way, I am wondering if other shells with job control
- work the same way.
