$ kill %1 [1]- Terminated man cp $ bash is only asking the job to quit, and sometimes a job will not want to do so. If the job doesn't terminate, you can add the -KILL5.1 option to kill to stop asking and start demanding. For example: $ kill -KILL %1 [1]- Killed man mv $ The -KILL option forcibly and unconditionally kills off the job. In technical terms, kill simply sends a signal. By default, it sends a signal that requests termination (TERM, or signal 15) but you can also specify a signal, and signal 9 (KILL) is the signal that forces termination. The command name kill is not necessarily appropriate to the signal sent; for example, sending the TSTP (terminal stop) signal suspends the process but allows it to be continued later. top This brings the top display back up. Give the u command in top to see only your processes. Look in the right-hand column for the man ls and man mv commands. man cp won't be there because you killed it. top is showing you |
