Lecture05. Command-line Environment
Job control
From what we have seen, we can use some
ps aux | grep
commands to get our jobs’ pids and then kill them, but there are better ways to do it. Start asleep 10000
job in a terminal, background it withCtrl-Z
and continue its execution withbg
. Now usepgrep
to find its pid andpkill
to kill it without ever typing the pid itself. (Hint: use the-af
flags).
