Dealing with Stopped Jobs Sometimes when you try to logout, you'll get
a message saying there are "stopped jobs". These stopped jobs are
programs or processes which have been suspended by a ^Z (Ctrl - Z)
command. You have to either make the job active again, or get it
running properly in the "background" before you can logout. Stopping a
program is useful if you want to temporarily suspend working on one
program so you can do something else. To see a list of stopped jobs,
type:
jobs
You will see a list of the stopped programs. Here's an example showing a stopped "learn" session:
[1] + Stopped learn
You can kill this stopped job by typing:
kill %1 (where %1 is the number of the job
to be killed>
Or you can make the program active again by typing:
fg %1 (where %1 is the number of the job)
