jobs: Display information about jobs with changed status.
$ jobs -n
try on your machine
The command "jobs -n" is used to display a list of active jobs running in the background, with specific job ID and additional information. Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "jobs" is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows you to manage jobs or processes running in the background.
- "-n" is an option or flag that can be used with the "jobs" command to specify the number of most recent jobs to display.
By executing "jobs -n", the system will display the most recent active jobs along with their job ID, status, and the command that was used to start the job. The number specified after "-n" determines how many recent jobs will be shown. For example, if "-n 5" is used, it will display the five most recent jobs.
