Greetings, Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but... I'm using Debian. I use Debian. I know this list is full of knowledgeable individuals. ;-) Other than that, my question's a little off-topic. Pointers to where else to ask/look would be appreciated.
I've got a system here that I've been building from scratch - just to ***learn*** how Debian / Linux works from the ground up (right from building my own boot disk - initrd, etc.). I've got everything working great; however.... Hitting CTRL-C does not kill a running process. The only clue I've got is that, sometimes, I get a message "Job Control Disabled" when starting a shell. Seeing as CTRL-C is a "form" of job control, I'm thinking this might be related. I'm using BASH as the shell. Any ideas would be ***greatly*** appreciated. i.e. What manages Job Control in a Linux system? The kernel? The shell? Init? (I've rolled my own init, btw.) And, why might Job Control be disabled? .... TIA for your help/comments. Regards, Kevin Traas
