bon - Activate the shell's -b flag.
usage: bon
DESCRIPTION
bon activates the shell's -b (display output of background process) flag.
You can also activate the flag by using the -b option on the sh command
line when the shell is invoked. The boff command deactivates the -b
flag. By default, the flag is off when a shell is invoked.
This flag causes the shell to send the output of a background process
(created with the & parsing operator) to the display. The output of the
background process is displayed in the transcript pad of the shell where
it was invoked.
You turn bon on in a shell script. It remains on until that shell script
exits, or until you override it by a boff command in a nested shell
script. When a shell script exits, the state of execution tracing is
returned to the state in effect just before you invoked the script.
bon requires no arguments or options.
