Thanks for your feedback.

I use the same kind of code in fpsync and it works great with dash, right.

The problem is when the main script is started *in the background*. Can your 
test script successfully be run in the background with dash if $JOBMON is not 
empty ? I think you'll face the same problem as I do.

I could not find Jilles' commit (cd60e2c) equivalent in dash code, so I 
presume enabling job control without a tty in non-interactive mode is just not 
possible with dash, am I right ?

Best regards,
