ok, i understand. but then we have not reasonable way to store pids of background process into shell variable... $ sleep 1000 & $ sleep 100 & $ for i in `jobs -p`; do echo $i; done # doesn't work $ jobs -p | xargs # doesn't work only working way is redirecting output to the file $ jobs -p > /tmp/pids # this works -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
