  NAME
       jobs -- display status of jobs in current session

  SYNOPSIS
       jobs [-l|-p] [job-identifier...]

  DESCRIPTION

       Note: The MPE/iX implementation of this utility does not function
       exactly as this man page describes.  For details, see the MPE/iX
       NOTES section at the end of this man page.

       jobs produces a list of the processes in the current session.
       Each such process is numbered for easy identification by fg(1)
       and kill(1), and is described by a line of information:

          [job-identifier]   default   state   shell_command

       job-identifier
            is a decimal number which identifies the process for such
            commands as fg(1) and kill(1) (preface the job-identifier
            with % when used with these commands).

       default
            identifies the process that is default for the fg(1) and
            bg(1) commands (that is, the most recently suspended pro-
            cess).  If default is a +, this process is the default job.
            If default is a -, this job becomes the default when the
            current default job exits.  There is at most one + job and
            one - job.

       state
            shows a job as:

            Running          if it is not suspended and has not exited

            Done             if it exited successfully

            Done(exit status)if it exited with a non-zero exit status

            Stopped (signal) if it is suspended; signal is the signal
                             that suspended the job

       shell_command
            is the associated shell command which created the process.

  Options
       jobs accepts the following options:

       -l   also displays the process group ID of a job (before state).

                                                                       1

  ______________________________________________________________________

       -p   displays only the process IDs of all processes.

       The -l and -p options are mutually exclusive.

  DIAGNOSTICS
       Possible exit status values are:

       0  Successful completion.

       2  Failure due to an invalid command line argument.

  Message

       Message:  Unknown option "-option"
       Cause:    You specified an option that is not valid for jobs.

  MPE/iX NOTES
       The current release of MPE/iX does not support job control.  As a
       result, there will never be any jobs in the stopped state.  Also,
       the fg and bg commands (described in the POSIX.2a standard) are
       not currently implemented.  You can use job IDs with the kill
       command to specify processes.

       For more information on how the current MPE/iX implementation may
       affect the operation of this utility, see Appendix A, MPE/iX
       Implementation Considerations.
