further info:
whoever takes a look at this; the problem is even worse than
originally described. piping the output of "jobs" loses the
output entirely, while piping the output of "jobs %1" causes an
erroneous error message.
BusyBox v1.7.0.svn (2007-07-05 13:13:46 EDT) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
$ sleep 3600 &
$ sleep 700
(typed ^Z here)
[2] + Stopped sleep 700
$ jobs
[2] + Stopped sleep 700
[1] - Running sleep 3600
(two jobs)
$ jobs | cat
$ jobs | tr a-z A-Z
(note missing output)
$ jobs
[2] + Stopped sleep 700
[1] - Running sleep 3600
(still two jobs)
$ jobs %1
[1] - Running sleep 3600
(good)
$ jobs %2
[2] + Stopped sleep 700
(also good)
$ jobs %1 | cat
ash: jobs: No such job: %1
(bad error message)
$ jobs %2 | cat
ash: jobs: No such job: %2
(bad error message)
$ jobs
[2] + Stopped sleep 700
[1] - Running sleep 3600
(still two jobs)
