Thanks for the suggestion, but I am happy with jobuid, and have modified all the exiting code that previously used "job" to use jobuid. Since there is no notion of job within Unix/Linux, I don't see any problem of confusion, and if there is so be it. If we have to avoid every three letter abbreviation that exists, we will have lots of conflicts. :-) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
