jobs: Show status of a particular job.
$ jobs %${job_id}
try on your machine
The command "jobs %${job_id}" is used to check the status of a specific job in the shell.
The ${job_id} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual job ID associated with the job you want to check.
When a command or a script is executed in the shell, it is assigned a unique job ID by the shell. This ID can be used to reference and check the status of the job later on.
By running "jobs %${job_id}", the shell will display the status and information of the job specified by ${job_id}. This could include details such as the job ID, its current status (running, stopped, completed), and the command or script associated with the job.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
