jobs

NAME

SYNOPSIS

jobs [-lnprs] [ jobspec ... ]

jobs -x command [ args ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The first form lists the active jobs.  The options have the following meanings:

-l     List process IDs in addition to the normal information.

-n     Display information only about jobs that have changed status since the user was last notified of their status.

-p     List only the process ID of the job's process group leader.

-r     Display only running jobs.

-s     Display only stopped jobs.

If jobspec is given, output is restricted to information about that job.  The return status is 0 unless an invalid option is encountered or an invalid jobspec is supplied.

If the -x option is supplied, jobs replaces any jobspec found in command or args with the corresponding process group ID, and executes command passing it args, returning its exit status.
