Re: Differences of "Emacs job" and "Emacs session"

[John Yates]

'Session' feels like a term that even younger emacs converts will relate to.  'Job' seems anachronistic, a throw back to JCL and submitting work to a batch system.  Toda I find the term 'process' distinctly more apt.

The difference is in the POV.  "Job" is looking at Emacs from POV of
the OS, while "session" takes the POV of the user who works in Emacs.

Both describe a running Emacs process.
