the system processes corresponding to your jobs; notice that the PID on
the left of the screen does not correspond to the job number. You may not be able to find your processes because they're off the bottom of the screen; if you're using X (see Chapter 9 on page [*]), you can resize the xterm to solve this problem. Even these simple jobs actually consist of multiple processes, including the man process and the pager more, which handles scrolling one page at a time. You may notice the more processes are also visible in top. You can probably figure out how to clean up the remaining two jobs. You can either kill them (with the kill command) or foreground each one (with fg) and exit it. Remember that the jobs command gives you a list of existing jobs and their status. One final note: The documentation for bash is quite good, but it is found in the Info help system rather than the man pages. To read it, type info bash. See section A.1.1 for instructions on using the info program. bash also contains a very good summary of its commands accessible by the help command. help displays a list of available topics; more information about each of them is accessible with the command help topic name. Try typing help cd, for example. This will give you details on the -P and -L arguments recognized by cd. A Few bash Features This section mentions just a few of the most commonly used Bash features; for a more complete discussion see Chapter 6. |
