Hello, I have run the following test with both mksh 54 and 56c (from Debian) that shows that a command line option -m (or -o monitor) does not enable job control (contrary to what the manpage indicates):
--- $ mksh -m -c 'fg' mksh: fg: job control not enabled $ mksh -c 'set -m; fg' mksh: fg: %%: no such job --- The same holds for pdksh, as well as for ksh (testing using an X11 app since fg does not print an error message in non interactive mode): --- $ ksh -m -c 'xclock& sleep 2' ^Z[1] + Stopped ksh -m -c "xclock& sleep 2" $ # xclock is not refreshed $ fg ksh -c "set -m; xclock& sleep 2" $ ksh -c 'set -m; xclock& sleep 2' ^Z[1] + Stopped ksh -c "set -m; xclock& sleep 2" $ # xclock is still refreshed $ fg ksh -c "set -m; xclock& sleep 2" --- Regards, -- G.raud
