Question

POSIX shell provides job control facilities like bg or fg.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in semester exam.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Process Management topic in section The Process of Unix

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

For explanation I would say: If we are using the C, Korn or Bash shell then we can use their job control facilities to manipulate jobs like killing a job, pushing to background or foreground, suspending a foreground job. We cannot use these job control commands in any other shell except the above mentioned.
