Task Control
Task control in lstcsh is the same as in tcsh except for remote background tasks.
lstcsh numbers shell tasks separately for each execution host.
jobs command
The output of the built-in command jobs lists background tasks together with their
execution hosts. This break of transparency is intentional to give you more control over
your background tasks.
% sleep 30 @hostD &
<< remote execution on hostD >>
[1] 27568
%
sleep 40 @hostD &
<< remote execution on hostD >>
[2] 10280

sleep 60 @hostB &
<< remote execution on hostB >>

To bring a remote background task to the foreground, the host name must be specified
together with
@, as in the following example:
% fg %2 @hostD
<< remote execution on hostD >>
sleep 40
