I have a question about the BSD job control (added to some Unixes around 1980). Where is the original paper introducing this feature? (or any implementation related documents) I don't think anyone will be intersted in the answer, so if you have any information please email me. (W.Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment: "Is job control necessary or desirable? ....... Some people claim that a well-designed windowing system removes any need for job control. ......... Regardless of your opinion, job control is part of POSIX.1 and FIPS 151-1 and will be around for a while." and myself: need to implement the above in Minix as our O.S. coursework :-) ) Thanks in advance for any help.
