-bash: fg: no job control

This morning, when I SSHed into another one of my systems, this message popped
up right under the "Last login" line.  Does anyone know what it means?

I am used to "job control" referring to JCL on a mainframe, so this one is new
to me.  ;)

Thanks!

Looks like something requiring job control was started in a
non-interactive shell.
Job control is usually when you use & at the end of a command to put it
in background or use ^Z to suspend the process then bg to put it in the
background. The fg command will attempt to bring it to the foreground
again.
