Archive-name: job-control/14-Sep-90 Original-posting-by: chet@cwns1.INS.CWRU.Edu Original-subject: Job control paper available Archive-site: cwns1.ins.cwru.edu [129.22.8.43] Archive-directory: /pub/bash Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) I have made troff and Postscript source for the paper ``A System V Compatible Implementation of 4.2 BSD Job Control'' (by David C. Lennert) available for anonymous ftp from cwns1.ins.cwru.edu (129.22.8.43) in the directory pub/bash. Also there is a newly-updated copy of the bash manual page. This paper reports on the work HP did implementing job control on HP-UX. This report, and HP's subsequent Posix proposal, were the basis for most of the job control material in the 1003.1-88 standard. It's a good explanation of how job control works. If anyone is wondering, this paper was posted to the mod.std.unix group back in 1987. It is available from the archives on UUNET in ~ftp/comp.std.unix/mod.std.unix.v7.Z. (By the way, those interested in this stuff should retrieve that volume and read the discussions there about job control.)
