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.

<< remote execution on hostD >>

sleep 40 @hostD &
<< remote execution on hostD >> 
[2] 10280
sleep 60 @hostB &
<< remote execution on hostB >>
