I'm using FreeBSD 4.9. Hopefully this is not too far off-topic.
My login shell is set to /bin/csh. Why is it that when I:
% /bin/sh
$ echo $SHELL
I get:
$ /bin/csh
Also, I noticed that when I invoke sh , and I:
$ sleep 40
The sleep process has a different process group ID than the parent
(shell). I thought by default the bourne shell did not support job
control. From my understanding, it will support job control if you use the
-m switch.
