jobs: Display running processes.
$ jobs -r
try on your machine

The command "jobs -r" is used to display all currently running jobs on the system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "jobs" is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to manage jobs. It allows you to monitor and control background processes that are running within the current shell session.
  • The option "-r" is an argument that specifies a particular option or behavior for the "jobs" command. In this case, "-r" is used to filter and display only the running jobs.

So when you execute "jobs -r" in the command line, it will provide a list of all active jobs (background processes) that are currently running in your current shell session. It can be helpful to keep track of and manage these jobs, especially when working with multiple background tasks.
