Ah yes. I totally missed your point, sorry! Indeed: $ mksh -c 'sleep 1 & fg' # ok. mksh: fg: job control not enabled $ mksh -m -c 'sleep 1 & fg' # not ok. mksh: fg: job control not enabled Curiously, It works as expected with the -i option (which implies the job monitor): $ mksh -i -c 'fg' mksh: fg: %%: no such job As if '-m' was just ignored. You're also right for the xclock case; bash works as expected. Sorry again, Seb.
