Possibly merge with processes and process management

[edit]

Should this article be merged with Process management (computing)?

With only one reference from 1960, I doubt the article's definition of 'job' is objective. It should probably describe some significant uses of the term in computing history, different implementations across OS kernels, or at least describe how a job differs from a process. The intro describes jobs and processes as 'concretely identified', which is ambiguous and not always true. Epsilon02 (talk) 22:11, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
