10.0;boff, revision 1.0, 88/01/21
boff - deactivate the Shell's -b flag.
usage:  boff



DESCRIPTION
     boff turns off the shell's -b (display output of background process)
     flag, which is turned on by the bon command or the -b option on the shell
     command line.  When the flag is off, the output of background processes
     created with the & parsing operator is sent to /dev/null. This background
     process output is sent to /dev/null by default.

     boff requires no arguments or options.
