Chet,
The man page mentioned that 'set -m' should print 'a line containing their
status upon their completion' ... which should imply 'set +m' should NOT
print the status.
Attached is a patch to 'silent' bash so that it won't print the status
when 'Monitor mode' is off (set +m).
If this is not the right place to do this, please suggest an alternative
to silent bash when 'kill %!' is executed.
Thanks,
Jeff
