## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Manage interactive jobs in Hilbish via Lua.
|
|
|
|
Jobs are the name of background tasks/commands. A job can be started via
|
|
interactive usage or with the functions defined below for use in external runners.
|
|
|
|
## Object properties
|
|
- `cmd`: The user entered command string for the job.
|
|
- `running`: Whether the job is running or not.
|
|
- `id`: The ID of the job in the job table
|
|
- `pid`: The Process ID
|
|
- `exitCode`: The last exit code of the job.
|
|
- `stdout`: The standard output of the job. This just means the normal logs of the process.
|
|
- `stderr`: The standard error stream of the process. This (usually) includes error messages of the job.
|
|
|
|
## Functions
|
|
### background()
|
|
Puts a job in the background. This acts the same as initially running a job.
|
|
|
|
### foreground()
|
|
Puts a job in the foreground. This will cause it to run like it was
|
|
executed normally and wait for it to complete.
|
|
|
|
### start()
|
|
Starts running the job.
|
|
|
|
### stop()
|
|
Stops the job from running.
|
|
|
|
### add(cmdstr, args, execPath)
|
|
Adds a new job to the job table. Note that this does not immediately run it.
|
|
|
|
### all()
|
|
Returns a table of all job objects.
|
|
|
|
### disown(id)
|
|
Disowns a job. This deletes it from the job table.
|
|
|
|
### get(id)
|
|
Get a job object via its ID.
|
|
|
|
### last() -> Job
|
