A while back I cam across the 4.3BSD ability to 'suspend' a running process by hitting ^Z. (I think this is a CSH feature) (bug??) Is there any way to resume the process, either by letting it continue to run in the background or foreground? TIA, Mark A. Heilpern heilpern@brl.mil -- |\/| | | | _ |< / \_(_(_)\_/ \______

No, job control is also available in the BRL Bourne shell on the same systems (and in the Korn shell, which we haven't yet licensed). >Is there any way to resume the process, either by letting it continue to >run in the background or foreground? Of course there is. The manual page for whichever shell will tell you how. Don't you guys in IBD know how to ask questions locally instead of broadcasting around the world? Next time try posting to Support.

To bring the job back into the foreground, type fg; to run it in the background, use bg. Jobs running in the background already (either put their using ^Z, bg or with the & at the end of the command) can be brought back into the foreground using fg also.

(I think this is a CSH feature) (bug??) This is a feature. It's called Job Control. Not all C-Shell's have it. >Is there any way to resume the process, either by letting it continue to >run in the background or foreground? Sure is. Use "fg" to resume in the foreground, and "bg" to continue in the background. You may also use "jobs" to get a list of stopped jobs. Fg/bg also take an arguement to them. Use "fg %1" to bring job #1 to the foreground. See the manual in fg(1csh), bg(1csh), jobs(1csh), and csh(1csh) for more information. Jeff Beadles jeff@tekcsc.MKT.TEK.COM
