Job control on SYSV
Tony Sumrall
it to provide the same level of job control that ksh has. Admittedly, the
ksh job control on SYSV machines is pretty limited in that it only provides
"set -o monitor", "jobs [-l]" and "kill [-l] [-SIGNAME]" (no fg/bg or
suspend capabilities) but I've grown quite used to it. Is this feature absent
by design or is it just an oversight? For the record, I'm running Amdahl
UTS (surprise!) 2.0.1 on an Amdahl mainframe (will wonders never cease :-).
UTS 2.0.1 (and other levels, no doubt) is equivalent to SYSVR3.
Also, is all of the mail to bug-bash sent to gnu.bash.bug? If not, how do
I get on the mailing list?

As far as I can tell it's by design. I added this to bash 1.03 (or 1.04?)
and sent diffs to Brian and posted them, but they obviously haven't been
included. As we speak, I'm working on adding it to bash-1.08 (or 1.09?
the patch says 1.09), and will post the diffs and send it in again
when I'm done.
As an aside, I'm also adding a command line interface to readline, so
you can get listings of the current keybindings, bind keys, define
macros, etc. from the bash command line. As long as "real" work
doesn't interfere too much, I should have both of the above done in
a couple of weeks or so.
