There is no "job control" in Plan 9.
Instead, there is a window system.

Draw two windows, and run one command
in each.  Then it is very easy to bring one or the
other command to the foreground by clicking
with the mouse in the associated window.

P.S.  Processes by group:

for(i in `{grep . /proc/*/noteid | sed 's!.*:!!' | sort -nu}){
	echo $i
	ps | grep -f <{
		grep -l ' '$i' ' /proc/*/noteid >[2]/dev/null |
		sed 's!/proc/!^[^ ]+ +!; s!/noteid! !'
	}
}
