Interactive Background Processes

[wilber at alice.UUCP]

As a non-wizard (posting under false pretenses, I guess) it seems to me that
if you have a version of Unix without job control or layers or the like the
"poor man's solution" to this problem is to fire up Emacs, make as many shell
buffers as you need, and run whatever you want in each one.  Of course the
background process can't keep running after you log out.
