Question

What is a job?

(a) group of tasks

(b) group of commands

(c) group of processes

(d) group of signals

I had been asked this question in unit test.

My question is taken from Process Management topic in division The Process of Unix

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) group of processes

The best explanation: A job is a name given to a group of processes. The easiest way of creating a job is to run a pipeline of two or more commands. If we are using C, Korn or Bash shell we can use the job control commands to manipulate jobs.
