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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
