It can be illuminating to try it blind first, then looking at how other people solved it in the real implementation. You don't get as much of an appreciation for why they did things certain ways unless you've encountered the same issues directly. | |

Fixed title to show fg instead of bg a second time. Cut a few unneeded words to get over the min change chars to be saved an edit.

| Aug 30, 2012 at 9:33 | comment | added | AProgrammer | @KilianFoth, copying the implementation without understanding it as little learning experience. And I don't see why would someone who needs to ask this question starts a shell if it wasn't for the learning experience. | |

| Aug 30, 2012 at 6:32 | comment | added | Kilian Foth | Nearly all popular UNIX shells are open-source. Is there a particular reason why you don't want to look at them to see how bash, zsh etc. implement the 'fg' command? | |
| Aug 30, 2012 at 6:14 | comment | added | Mat | glibc has a interesting docs about this: gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Job-Control.html - the search keyword you're looking for is "job control". | |
