GNU Info (libc.info)Job ControlJob Control *********** "Job control" refers to the protocol for allowing a user to move between multiple "process groups" (or "jobs") within a single "login session". The job control facilities are set up so that appropriate behavior for most programs happens automatically and they need not do anything special about job control. So you can probably ignore the material in this chapter unless you are writing a shell or login program. You need to be familiar with concepts relating to process creation (Note: Process Creation Concepts) and signal handling (Note: Signal Handling) in order to understand this material presented in this chapter.
