Job control (computing): History, Language & Overview

In computing, job control refers to the automated control of job execution – ensuring that each job has access to adequate resources to perform correctly, that competition for limited resources does not cause a deadlock, resolving such situations where they do occur, and terminating jobs that, for any reason, are not performing as expected. Even with…
