Re: Multitasking, through Multiple Text Windows

Here's more information:

I gave myself a "text-only" system, via the command:  "systemctl
set-default multi-user.target"

Using two Virtual Text consoles:  /dev/tty3 (alt-f3), and /dev/tty4
(alt-f4).

alt-f3 does the command I wish to continue running ("play", but could be
compiling a Linux Kernel).  alt-f4 gathers information.

Music plays fine, when in alt-f3, but stops in alt-f4.

So, I do "ps axu" in alt-f4, to see what happens to the "play" command.
"Status= "S1+"!

People say that you don't need a Graphical Environment with a Server.  But
what if you want to Multitask?

****   Test part 2:  on Devuan Ascii.

First, install it!  (I don't count my Virtualbox version, because it
doesn't do justice to my Virtual Console tests)

Now, under Devuan, Music keeps running when I switch Console to alt-f4.

Now, if I do "ps axu" in alt-f4, I see "Status = SL+"

So what is the difference between S1+ and SL+?

Thanks for the kind help, so far.
