The series 800 machines support Berkeley job control. As of release 6.2, the series 300 machines do not support it. Aaron Schuman

Job control is currently supported on the HP 9000 Series 800 HP-UX sytems and will be supported on an upcoming release of HP-UX for the HP 9000 Series 300 systems.

Yes, we use the job control features all the time. They have been available since Rev. 2.0. To activate job control do a stty susp \^z.

If you have an 800 (you have referenced an 835 in another article) and you seem not to have job control, then check that the following stty options are set: stty susp ^Z dsusp ^Y tostop the man page on stty should provide any more needed details Art Harkin Network Support Center

Rumour has it that the next major releases on the 300 and 800 series (HP-UX 7.0 and HP-UX 3.0?, respectively) will be merged in the sense that everything that's in one of them is in the other and vice versa. Does that mean that also the 300 will get REAL job control? I noticed that the latest 6.2 release for the 350 has long filenames (plus a lot more we've been waiting for) - thanks! -Bo ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.

I got a letter a few months ago saying "here it comes" but it never did. A call to HP said "we'll get it too you real soon" but so far vaporware. HP seems to screw these software shipments up a lot, since our original opsys tapes had random files on them instead of the marked ones. At least I got a second set of manuals for free in the make-up shipment (now if I could find space to put them out :-) ). Good thing the software works so well when it finally gets here, or I'd be screaming by now... ****************************************************************************** Tony Burzio * Anybody read the neat article about how the new Martin Marietta Labs * uVAX3xxx series got booed by DECUS at their convention? ******************************************************************************
