bug#66066: 30.0.50; [PATCH] Add support for more-complex Eshell commands


From: Jim Porter
Subject: bug#66066: 30.0.50; [PATCH] Add support for more-complex Eshell commands in the background
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2023 21:45:22 -0700

Currently, only very simple Eshell commands can be run in the background. Anything more complicated, such as Eshell script files or things involving variable interpolation fail. For example, this should print "hi", but it doesn't print anything (aside from messages about the processes that started/stopped):

  *echo ${*echo hi} &

The attached patches fix this.

Note: In reality, this is just a preliminary set of changes to add full job control to Eshell, but that's more complex. (Hopefully, I'll get that working next though.)
