<p><span id="index-jobs"></span>
<span id="index-MONITOR_002c-use-of"></span></p>
<p>If the <code>MONITOR</code> option is set, an interactive shell associates a <em>job</em>
with each pipeline. command, and assigns them small integer numbers.
When a job is started asynchronously with <code>&amp;</code>, the shell prints a line
to standard error which looks like:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre><code class="language-example">[1] 1234
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>indicating that the job which was started asynchronously was job number
1 and had one (top-level) process, whose process ID was 1234.</p>
<p>If a job is started with <code>&amp;|</code> or <code>&amp;!</code>, then that job is immediately
disowned. After startup, it to the job control features described here.</p>
<p>If you are running a job and wish to do something else you may hit the
key ^Z (control-Z) which sends a <code>TSTP</code> signal to the current job: this
key may be redefined by the <code>susp</code> option of the external <code>stty</code>
command. <span id="index-jobs_002c-suspending"></span>
<span id="index-suspending-jobs"></span> The shell will then normally
indicate that the job has been suspended, and print another prompt.
You can then manipulate the state of this job,
<span id="index-bg_002c-use-of"></span> putting it in the background
with the <code>bg</code> command, or run some other commands and then eventually
bring the job back into the foreground with
<span id="index-fg_002c-use-of"></span> the foreground command <code>fg</code>. A
^Z takes effect immediately and is like an interrupt in that pending
output and unread input are discarded when it is typed.</p>
<p>A job being run in the background will suspend if it tries to read from
the terminal.</p>
<p>Note that if the job running in the foreground is a shell function, then
suspending it will have the effect of causing the shell to fork. This is
necessary to separate the functions state from that of the parent shell
performing the job control, so that the latter can return to the command
line prompt. As a result, even if <code>fg</code> is used to continue the job the
function will no longer be part of the parent shell, and any variables
set by the function will not be visible in the parent shell. Thus the
behaviour is different from the case where the function was never
suspended. Zsh is different from many other shells in this regard.</p>
<p>One additional side effect is that use of <code>disown</code> with a job created by
suspending shell code in this fashion is delayed: the job can only be
disowned once any process started from the parent shell has terminated.
At that point, the disowned job disappears silently from the job list.</p>
<p>The same behaviour is found when the shell is executing code as the
right hand side of a pipeline or any complex shell construct such as
<code>if</code>, <code>for</code>, etc., in order that the entire block of code can be managed
as a single job. <span id="index-background-jobs_002c-I_002fO"></span>
<span id="index-jobs_002c-background_002c-I_002fO"></span> Background
jobs are normally allowed to produce output, but this can be disabled by
giving the command <code>stty tostop</code>. If you set this tty option, then
background jobs will suspend when they try to produce output like they
do when they try to read input.</p>
<p>When a command is suspended and continued later with the <code>fg</code> or <code>wait</code>
builtins, zsh restores tty modes that were in effect when it was
suspended. This (intentionally) does not apply if the command is
continued via <code>kill -CONT</code>, nor when it is continued with <code>bg</code>.</p>
<p><span id="index-jobs_002c-referring-to"></span>
<span id="index-referring-to-jobs"></span></p>
<p>There are several ways to refer to jobs in the shell. A job can be
referred to by the process ID of any process of the job or by one of the
following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>%``number</code><br />
The job with the given number.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>%``string</code><br />
The last job whose command line begins with <code>string</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>%?``string</code><br />
The last job whose command line contains <code>string</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>%%</code><br />
Current job.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>%+</code><br />
Equivalent to <code>%%</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>%-</code><br />
Previous job.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The shell learns immediately whenever a process changes state.
<span id="index-NOTIFY_002c-use-of"></span> It normally informs you
whenever a job becomes blocked so that no further progress is possible.
If the <code>NOTIFY</code> option is not set, it waits until just before it prints
a prompt before it informs you. All such notifications are sent directly
to the terminal, not to the standard output or standard error.</p>
<p>When the monitor mode is on, each background job that completes triggers
any trap set for <code>CHLD</code>.</p>
<p>When you try to leave the shell while jobs are running or suspended, you
will be warned that You have suspended (running) jobs. You may use the
<code>jobs</code> command to see what they are. If you do this or immediately try
to exit again, the shell will not warn you a second time; the suspended
jobs will be terminated, and the running jobs will be sent a <code>SIGHUP</code>
signal, if the <code>HUP</code> option is set.
<span id="index-HUP_002c-use-of"></span></p>
<p><span id="index-jobs_002c-disowning"></span>
<span id="index-disowning-jobs"></span>
<span id="index-disown_002c-use-of"></span></p>
<p>To avoid having the shell terminate the running jobs, either use the
nohup command (see man page nohup(1)) or the <code>disown</code> builtin.</p>
<hr />
<p><span id="Signals"></span></p>
<h2 id="102-signals"><a class="header" href="#102-signals">10.2 Signals</a></h2>
<p>The <code>INT</code> and <code>QUIT</code> signals for an invoked command are ignored if the
command is followed by <code>&amp;</code> and the <code>MONITOR</code> option is not active. The
shell itself always ignores the <code>QUIT</code> signal. Otherwise, signals have
the values inherited by the shell from its parent (but see the
<code>TRAP``NAL</code> special functions in <a href="Functions.html#Functions">Functions</a>).</p>
<p><span id="index-exiting-shell_002c-and-asynchronous-jobs"></span>
<span id="index-asynchronous-jobs_002c-and-exiting-shell"></span>
<span id="index-jobs_002c-asynchronous_002c-and-exiting-shell"></span></p>
<p>Certain jobs are run asynchronously by the shell other than those
explicitly put into the background; even in cases where the shell would
usually wait for such jobs, an explicit <code>exit</code> command or exit due to
the option <code>ERR_EXIT</code> will cause the shell to exit without waiting.
Examples of such asynchronous jobs are process substitution, see
<a href="Expansion.html#Process-Substitution">Process Substitution</a>, and the
handler processes for multios, see the section Multios in
<a href="Redirection.html#Redirection">Redirection</a>.</p>
