I grew up on BSD 4.2.  Now I'm the administrator for 1/2 dozen CCI
6/32s that are using SYSVR2.  I really miss having the job control
available under BSD and I'd like to get whatever I can on my present
system.  My system does have shl, but no one has ever used it and I
doubt if it is properly set up.

Typing shl results in: "no control channels available (errno 2)"

My documentation consists of the man pages for shl and sxt -- that's
it.  In addition, I'm not authorized to call CCI's software helpline
anymore because I haven't had their sys admin class (neither my
employer nor our client is thrilled about spending $750 so I can spend
a week reviewing ls and cat).  CCI didn't offer any more support for
uucp or the Berkely net extensions either, but I figured them out with
the help of good books & good advice.  All I need are a couple of
clues (its got to do with /dev/stx, right?) and I think I can get this
to work.

If you are using the shell layer manager on your SysV Tahoe, please
let me know what the trick is.  Thank you,
