   I've just started checking out Minix, and have a question on
job control. Namely, how much is supported? In Ultrix I can run
a job, type ^Z to suspend it, then type fg or bg to restart it
running in foreground or background. Does Minix support anything
like this? If the supplied shell doesn't do this, would it still
be possible to write another shell that does?
