DESCRIPTION
sh
When Job Control is enabled, the Bourne shell built-in jobs reports all
jobs that are stopped or executing in the background. If %job_id is
omitted, all jobs that are stopped or running in the background is
reported. The following options modify or enhance the output of jobs:
-l Reports the process group ID and working directory of the jobs.
-p Reports only the process group ID of the jobs.
-x Replaces any job_id found in command or arguments with the corre‐
sponding process group ID, and then executes command passing it
arguments.
When the shell is invoked as jsh, Job Control is enabled in addition to
all of the functionality described previously for sh. Typically Job
Control is enabled for the interactive shell only. Non-interactive
shells typically do not benefit from the added functionality of Job
Control.
With Job Control enabled every command or pipeline the user enters at
the terminal is called a job_id. All jobs exist in one of the following
states: foreground, background or stopped. These terms are defined as
follows:
1. A job in the foreground has read and write access to the
controlling terminal.
2. A job in the background is denied read access and has condi‐
tional write access to the controlling terminal (see
stty(1))
3. A stopped job is a job that has been placed in a suspended
state, usually as a result of a SIGTSTP signal (see sig‐
nal.h(3HEAD)).
Every job that the shell starts is assigned a positive integer, called
a job_id number which is tracked by the shell and are used as an iden‐
tifier to indicate a specific job. Additionally, the shell keeps track
of the current and previous jobs. The current job is the most recent
job to be started or restarted. The previous job is the first non-cur‐
rent job.
The acceptable syntax for a Job Identifier is of the form:
%job_id
where job_id can be specified in any of the following formats:
% or + for the current job
− for the previous job
?<string> specify the job for which the command line uniquely con‐
tains string.
n for job number n, where n is a job number
pref where pref is a unique prefix of the command name (for
example, if the command ls −l name were running in the
background, it could be referred to as %ls); pref cannot
contain blanks unless it is quoted.
When Job Control is enabled, fg resumes the execution of a stopped job
in the foreground, also moves an executing background job into the
foreground. If %job_id is omitted the current job is assumed.
When Job Control is enabled, bg resumes the execution of a stopped job
in the background. If %job_id is omitted the current job is assumed.
stop stops the execution of a background job(s) by using its job_id, or
of any process by using its pid; see ps(1).
csh
The C shell built-in, jobs, without an argument, lists the active jobs
under job control.
-l List process IDs, in addition to the normal information.
The shell associates a numbered job_id with each command sequence to
keep track of those commands that are running in the background or have
been stopped with TSTP signals (typically Control-Z). When a command or
command sequence (semicolon-separated list) is started in the back‐
ground using the & metacharacter, the shell displays a line with the
job number in brackets and a list of associated process numbers:
[1] 1234
To see the current list of jobs, use the jobs built-in command. The job
most recently stopped (or put into the background if none are stopped)
is referred to as the current job and is indicated with a '+'. The pre‐
vious job is indicated with a '−'; when the current job is terminated
or moved to the foreground, this job takes its place (becomes the new
current job).
To manipulate jobs, refer to the bg, fg, kill, stop, and % built-in
commands.
A reference to a job begins with a '%'. By itself, the percent sign
refers to the current job.
% %+ %% The current job.
%− The previous job.
%j Refer to job j as in: 'kill -9 %j'. j can be a job num‐
ber, or a string that uniquely specifies the command line
by which it was started; 'fg %vi' might bring a stopped vi
job to the foreground, for instance.
%?string Specify the job for which the command line uniquely con‐
tains string.
A job running in the background stops when it attempts to read from the
terminal. Background jobs can normally produce output, but this can be
suppressed using the 'stty tostop' command.
fg brings the current or specified job_id into the foreground.
bg runs the current or specified jobs in the background.
stop stops the execution of a background job(s) by using its job_id, or
of any process by using its pid; see ps(1).
notify notifies the user asynchronously when the status of the current
job or specified jobs changes.
ksh88
jobs displays the status of the jobs that were started in the current
shell environment. When jobs reports the termination status of a job,
the shell removes its process ID from the list of those known in the
current shell execution environment.
job_id specifies the jobs for which the status is to be displayed. If
no job_id is specified, the status information for all jobs are dis‐
played.
The following options modify or enhance the output of jobs:
-l (The letter ell.) Provides more information about each job
listed. This information includes the job number, current job,
process group ID, state and the command that formed the job.
-n Displays only jobs that have stopped or exited since last noti‐
fied.
-p Displays only the process IDs for the process group leaders of
the selected jobs.
By default, jobs displays the status of all the stopped jobs, running
background jobs, and all jobs whose status has changed and have not
been reported by the shell.
If the monitor option of the set command is turned on, an interactive
shell associates a job with each pipeline. It keeps a table of current
jobs, printed by the jobs command, and assigns them small integer num‐
bers. When a job is started asynchronously with &, the shell prints a
line which looks like:
[1] 1234
indicating that the job, which was started asynchronously, was job num‐
ber 1 and had one (top-level) process, whose process id was 1234.
If you are running a job and wish to do something else you can press ^Z
(Control-Z) which sends a STOP signal to the current job. The shell
then normally prints "Stopped" to indicate that the job has been
stopped (see OUTPUT below), and prints another prompt. You can then
manipulate the state of this job, putting it in the background with the
bg command, or run some other commands and then eventually bring the
job back into the foreground with the foreground command fg. A ^Z takes
effect immediately and is like an interrupt, in that pending output and
unread input are discarded when it is typed.
There are several ways to refer to jobs in the shell. A job can be
referred to by the process id of any process of the job or by one of
the following:
%number The job with the specified number.
%string Any job whose command line begins with string; works only
in the interactive mode when the history file is active.
%?string Any job whose command line contains string; works only in
the interactive mode when the history file is active.
%% Current job.
%+ Equivalent to %%.
%− Previous job.
The shell learns immediately whenever a process changes state. It nor‐
mally informs you whenever a job becomes blocked so that no further
progress is possible, but only just before it prints a prompt. This is
done so that it does not otherwise disturb your work. When the monitor
mode is on, each background job that completes triggers any trap set
for CHLD. When you try to leave the shell while jobs are running or
stopped, you are warned that 'You have stopped (running) jobs.' You can
use the jobs command to see what they are. If you do this or immedi‐
ately try to exit again, the shell does not warn you a second time, and
the stopped jobs are terminated.
fg moves a background job from the current environment into the fore‐
ground. Using fg to place a job in the foreground removes its process
ID from the list of those known in the current shell execution environ‐
ment. The fg command is available only on systems that support job con‐
trol. If job_id is not specified, the current job is brought into the
foreground.
bg resumes suspended jobs from the current environment by running them
as background jobs. If the job specified by job_id is already a running
background job, bg has no effect and exits successfully. Using bg to
place a job into the background causes its process ID to become 'known'
in the current shell execution environment, as if it had been started
as an asynchronous list. The bg command is available only on systems
that support job control. If job_id is not specified, the current job
is placed in the background.
stop stops the execution of a background job(s) by using its job_id, or
of any process by using its pid. See ps(1).
ksh
jobs displays information about specified jobs that were started by the
current shell environment on standard output. The information contains
the job number enclosed in [...], the status, and the command line that
started the job.
If job_id is omitted, jobs displays the status of all stopped jobs,
background jobs, and all jobs whose status has changed since last
reported by the shell.
When jobs reports the termination status of a job, the shell removes
the job from the list of known jobs in the current shell environment.
The following options modify or enhances the output of jobs:
-l Displays process IDs after the job number in addition to the
usual information.
-n Displays only the jobs whose status has changed since the last
prompt was displayed.
-p Displays the process group leader IDs for the specified jobs.
job_id can be specified to jobs, fg, and bg as one of the following:
number The process id of job.
-number The process group id of job.
%number The job number.
%string The job whose name begins with string.
%?string The job whose name contains string.
%+ The current job.
%%
%- The previous job.
fg places the specified jobs into the foreground in sequence and sends
a CONT signal to start each running. If job_id is omitted, the most
recently started or stopped background job is moved to the foreground.
bg places the specified jobs into the background and sends a CONT sig‐
nal to start them running. If job_id is omitted, the most recently
started or stopped background job is resumed or continued in the back‐
ground.
OUTPUT
If the -p option is specified, the output consists of one line for each
process ID:
"%d\n", "process ID"
Otherwise, if the -l option is not specified, the output is a series of
lines of the form:
"[%d] %c %s %s\n", job-number, current, state, command
where the fields are as follows:
current
The character + identifies the job that would be used as a default
for the fg or bg commands. This job can also be specified using the
job_id %+ or %% . The character − identifies the job that would
become the default if the current default job were to exit; this
job can also be specified using the job_id %− . For other jobs,
this field is a space character. At most, one job can be identified
with + and at most one job can be identified with −. If there is
any suspended job, then the current job is a suspended job. If
there are at least two suspended jobs, then the previous job is
also a suspended job.
job-number
A number that can be used to identify the process group to the
wait, fg, bg, and kill utilities. Using these utilities, the job
can be identified by prefixing the job number with %.
state
One of the following strings in the POSIX Locale:
Running Indicates that the job has not been suspended
by a signal and has not exited.
Done Indicates that the job completed and returned
exit status zero.
Done(code) Indicates that the job completed normally and
that it exited with the specified non-zero exit
status, code, expressed as a decimal number.
Stopped Indicates that the job was stopped.
Stopped(SIGTSTP) Indicates that the job was suspended by the
SIGTSTP signal.
Stopped(SIGSTOP) Indicates that the job was suspended by the
SIGSTOP signal.
Stopped(SIGTTIN) Indicates that the job was suspended by the
SIGTTIN signal.
Stopped(SIGTTOU) Indicates that the job was suspended by the
SIGTTOU signal.
The implementation can substitute the string Suspended in place of
Stopped. If the job was terminated by a signal, the format of state
is unspecified, but it is visibly distinct from all of the other
state formats shown here and indicates the name or description of
the signal causing the termination.
command
The associated command that was specified to the shell.
If the -l option is specified, a field containing the process group ID
is inserted before the state field. Also, more processes in a process
group can be output on separate lines, using only the process ID and
command fields.
