jobs(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities jobs(1)
NAME
jobs — display status of jobs in current session
SYNOPSIS
jobs [–l–p][job-identifier...]
DESCRIPTION
Note: The MPE/iX implementation of this utility does not function exactly as this man page
describes. For details, see the MPE/iX NOTES section at the end of this man page.
jobs produces a list of the processes in the current session. Each such process is numbered
for easy identification by fg(1) and kill(1), and is described by a line of information:
[job-identifier] default state shell_command
job-identifier
is a decimal number which identifies the process for such commands as fg(1) and
kill(1) (preface the job-identifier with % when used with these commands).
default identifies the process that is default for the fg(1) and bg(1) commands (that is, the
most recently suspended process). If default is a +, this process is the default job. If
default is a –, this job becomes the default when the current default job exits. There
is at most one + job and one – job.
state shows a job as:
Running if it is not suspended and has not exited
Done if it exited successfully
Done(exit status) if it exited with a non-zero exit status
Stopped (signal) if it is suspended; signal is the signal that suspended
the job
shell_command
is the associated shell command which created the process.
Options
jobs accepts the following options:
–l also displays the process group
ID of a job (before state).
–p displays only the process IDs of all processes.
The –l and –p options are mutually exclusive.
