Once suspended, the job can be run in the background or killed. Parameters: none - it's not really a command, just a signal. DOS equiv .: none whatsoever. Maybe someday ... This is a shell-builtin command that returns a job to the foreground. To find out which one this is by default, type jobs and look for the one with the +. Parameters: job number (optional - defaults to the one with +). When an & is added to the end of the command line, it tells the command to run in the background automatically. This job is then subject to all the usual methods of job control detailed here. This is a shell-builtin command that causes a suspended job to run in the background. To find out which one this is by default, type jobs and look for the one with the +. One way to think of bg is that it's really just fg &! Parameters: job number (optional - defaults to the one with +). This is a shell-builtin command that causes a background job, either suspended or running, to terminate. You should always specify the job number or PID, and if you are using job numbers, remember to precede them with a %. Parameters: job number (preceded by %) or PID (no % necessary). This shell command just lists information about the jobs currently running or suspending. Sometimes it also tells you about ones that have just exited or been terminated. This is the generic interrupt character. Usually, if you type it while a program is running in the foreground, it will kill the program (sometimes it takes a few tries). However, not all programs will respond to this method of termination.
