For my school project I am implementing a shell and I need help with job control. If we type a command, say cat &, then because of the & it should run in background, but it's not working. I have this code: { int pid; int status; pid = fork(); if (pid == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Child Job pid = %d\n", getpid()); execvp(arg1, arg2); } pid=getpid(); fprintf(stderr, "Child Job pid is = %d\n", getpid()); waitpid(pid, &status, 0); }
