Broderick) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: What does winopen(3G) do? Keywords: winopen sgi edge background parent child wsh Message-ID: Date: 30 May 90 00:11:23 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 14 It seems that all programs that use winopen(3G) (including `wsh`) run in the background but do not show up in the when you type `jobs`. How does this work? Is there any way to debug programs that use winopen with `edge`? Whenever I try to use `edge` to debug a program that uses winopen, my program runs to completion before edge is able to do a "stop at". Any help and explainations will be appreciated.
