Heh, don’t get me started. I personally rarely used ^Z, I simply banged out.

However shelling out was intrinsic to my workflow. We didn’t have screen or any of the other common multi session terminal programs at the time.

One day I decided to log out. I rarely logged out. If anything I was kicked off by a system restart.

So to log out I started closing sessions. Turns out I was at least 30 deep. Some files were being edited more than once, I even had shells within shells (which typically did to play ENV shenanigans).
