job
<operating system> All activities involved in completing any project on a
computer from start to finish. A job may involve several processes and several
programs.
This term originates from a time when a user would manually submit a job as a
deck of punched cards which would typically include source code interspersed
with job control language instructions to guide phases of the job such as
compilation, linking, execution and printing.
