Print currently running jobs and their status.
Syntax
jobs [OPTIONS] [PID]
Options:
-c
--command Print the command name for each process in jobs
-g
--group Only print the group id of each job
-h
--help Display a help message and exit
-l
--last Only the last job to be started is printed
-p
--pid Print the process id for each process in all jobs
On systems that supports this feature, jobs will print the CPU usage of each job since the last command was executed. The CPU usage is expressed as a percentage of full CPU activity. Note that on multiprocessor systems, the total activity can be more than 100%.
This is a BASH shell builtin, not all systems support all the options above, to display your local syntax type: help jobs
Example
$ jobs
