- PS and KILL have equivalent commands in the public domain. Download
- PROCS and KILLEM from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
-
- As for job control, I think it would take a fundamental change to
- change the process-type of a program (from windowed or full-screen to
- detached.) Suspending and resuming a task shouldn't be too hard,
- though.
-
- As for displaying a "done" message, where should it go? A detached
- process does not have a window, or a screen group, and the system
- forgets the window that it was launched from, so what is going to
- display this message?
