Re: [Nmh-workers] mhshow in background

Hi Jon,

No problem stopping evince after the mhshow.  The problem is running
it in the background so that I can look at the pdf and do other stuff
at the same time.  When I do a control-Z followed by a bg the mhshow
job and it's children stay stopped.

Oh, I get that here with mupdf.  It's because SIGTTOU is delivered after
the processes get the SIGCONT because of the attempt to write to a TTY
from a background process, presumably less.  Try `mhshow -noconcat -part
2'.  See `ps f' with and without the -noconcat and you should see the
lack of a pager.
