Managing Processes in Linux (jobs, fg, bg, &, nohup, kill, ...)

[@Proxyincognito]

I thought bg and fg also worked without the % after i made a typo, but i checked and it seems that with % you indicate a JOB ID and without a % it's a PROCESS ID. So make sure you use % or risk messing with stuff you didn't intend to :)

[@geekingjadi]

It is the same with some other command. With % you indicate job I'd and without it, you indicate the process id. Another sample is the kill command

[@Proxyincognito]

@@geekingjadi Ooh so the kill command can use job id's aswell, that's pretty cool to know. Thanks Jadi!
