copyJob

Control-struct: copyJob { name -> job }
file: job.t
package: muf
status: alpha

The copyJob operator is somewhat like the unix fork operator: The return value is nil in the child job and is the child job itself in the parent.

Unlike unix fork, the copyJob does not immediately schedule the child to run: Instead, it is placed in the owner's pauseQueue. See section forkJob.

Note: copyJob currently does not copy over properties in the propdirs. This is probably a bug, but I don't want single bytecodes doing unlimited amounts of work, locking up the server for an indefinite period.
