Listing Jobs

List jobs in the current shell by typing jobs.

Example…
List your jobs…
[af@llewterf ~]$ jobs <Enter>
[1]- Stopped vi
[2]+ Stopped vi
[af@llewterf ~]$

This example shows two jobs. Both  jobs are vi. The + indicates the most recent job while the – indicates the job previous to the most recent. If one has no current jobs then jobs returns nothing.

To list all precesses on the system use ps instead of jobs.
