[comp.sources.d] GNU BASH supporting POSIX job-control?

david@glance.ch (David Mosberger) (10/19/90)

Is there a BASH version supporting POSIX job-control? We are currently
using version 1.04.4 on our ULTRIX and SV3 boxes. It would be great if
we could use the job-control facility we have under ULTRIX on System V too.

	Thank's in advance!

Job control that the shell gives you hooks into support that the kernel
provides.  If it isn't in the kernel, the shell can't do anything to
give it to you.  Job control isn't in the System V Release 3 kernel, so
there's nothing you can do (other than upgrade your operating system).
