PS and KILL have equivalent commands in the public domain.  Download
PROCS and KILLEM from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.

As for job control, I think it would take a fundamental change to
change the process-type of a program (from windowed or full-screen to
detached.)  Suspending and resuming a task shouldn't be too hard,
though.

As for displaying a "done" message, where should it go?  A detached
process does not have a window, or a screen group, and the system
forgets the window that it was launched from, so what is going to
display this message?
