Subject: [9fans] no job control; thank you!
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 20:23:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <723315de1376d3aa7b828f93a205fe5b@collyer.net> (raw)

I'd like to thank all the Plan 9 developers for keeping job control
out of Plan 9.  I've just had a close encounter with job control after
many years away from Unix (hey, somebody has to clean the sewers), and
the complexity and botched implementation(s) of that bad idea are
mind-boggling.  I finally gave up.
