You're onto a complete loser if you really mean that. But you are probably meaning Unix-like systems (including Microsoft ones), and excluding the systems that are not based on or largely cloned from Unix. You should look at the POSIX facilities, but don't rely on them without checking. Also think very carefully whether you want to separate by user or job - the latter is trickier under Unix.
