nu-plugin-jobcontrol

A plugin for nushell that adds job control for background processes.

Installation

You can grab a release from the releases tab, or build yourself with

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe -p ~/.local

...and add it to nushell using

plugin add /path/to/nu_plugin_jobcontrol

Usage

# Start a background job
& dostuff

# List background jobs
jobs

# TODO: kill, pipes & process substitution

OS Support

*NIX

The plugin is Linux-only, due to using some features of the kernel. In the future, more unices work, but a procfs mounted on /proc will always be needed for pipes to work.

Windows
