I have recently moved from mush 7.1 to 7.2 (patchlevel 2, I guess),
on fts1. This is an Interactive 386/ix system running 2.2. It seems that it now
has job control, although I can't say how well job control is
integrated into the system. (At first, I thought they had simply used
the shell layers crap. Now I'm not so sure...)
Anyway, SIGCONT *IS* defined on this system, but I'm not exactly
sure how mush is reacting to it. Mush gets lines in cbreak mode even
when it is in command line mode if I'm not mistaken. (I always invoke
it with -e, btw)
Occasionally, (repeately in the last day or so), I've hit ^Z (my
'swtch' character -- one reason I'm leery about this job control
support). Well --- things didn't exactly suspend. I got into a mode
where my characters echoed, but there didn't seem to be anything on
the other end. ^C, ^B (and ^Z) were not terribly usefull. Worse,
hanging up (I'm remote) didn't seem to help either.
Has anyone tried this combination before? (mush 7.2, ICS job
control?)
I think I'm going to -USIGCONT and recompile mush to see what
happens...
