My initial thought was to make this a bit easier to write by exporting a few actions from
internal/engine/task/action.go
:so that
kill
could look something like this:and then update
bg
andfg
to also support the percent syntax (by just stripping the%
from arguments passed to those commands).But the bigger problem is that jobs don't work the same way in oh as they do in other shells. In oh, the list of jobs is a list of currently suspended tasks that can be resumed. Oh's
bg
command removes a command from the list of jobs and returns a reference to that command that can be passed towait
. Thebg
command behaves like thespawn
command. (Note that&
in oh is rewritten as spawn).To see what I mean try executing:
The effect is the same as doing:
Oh also avoids launching processes so not every job is part of a new process group (as they are part of the same process group as the shell - indicated with a group of 0) and as such the only signals that really make sense for those jobs are ones that terminate the job.
Because every job in oh's job list is suspended , we have to do a
kill %n
and then afg n
orbg n
to continue the job which will then act on the signal sent by kill.If we want a convenience wrapper to terminate a job we have suspended we should add a command called
terminate
(or something similar) that takes the same kind of arguments aswait
so that we can do:
