All shells implement this: sh: $ sleep 5 & $ [1] 61049 Exit 0 sleep 5 ksh: $ sleep 5 & [1] 61052 $ [1] + Done sleep 5& csh: % sleep 5 & [1] 61058 % [1] Done sleep 5 etc. Why does this need to be implemented in a separate executable? -- +-------------------+----------------------------------------+ | Chris Costello | God didn't create the world in 7 days. | | chris@calldei.com | He pulled an all-nighter on the 6th. | +-------------------+----------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
