Fg (Unix)
In Unix land, where shells do roam,
Job control is their special home.
A job, you see, is a group of friends,
Processes together, their journey never ends.
With job control, the shell takes the lead,
Suspending, resuming, it's all they need.
Pause a job, let it take a rest,
Resume it later, at your behest.
Terminate a job, bid it farewell,
All processes stop, their stories quell.
No more running, no more strife,
A peaceful end to their digital life.
But job control can do much more,
With signals, it opens a brand new door.
Send a signal, a message to convey,
To the job, to guide its way.
Job control in Unix, a fascinating art,
Multiprocessing's where it plays its part.
Distinguished from the rest, it stands tall,
In the world of job control, it reigns over all.
