That's quite a big question :-)
Could you explain globally but substantially
what you exactly want to achieve?

Besides, you wrote 'implement', do you mean you're actually
writing a new shell and need infos about how to write the
spawning modules?

yes. I wrote a shell and want to add bg and fg functionality into it,
so I need guidance about how to write those functions.

You asked that question already a week ago, multiposting in
several newsgroups and got several answers. Why are you asking
it again. Didn't the answer help you get started?

I got only one answer for it and it was not very clear to get started.
