except that a history command does not seem to be part of posix: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap01.html#tag_01_13 i don't care either way, i just want to avoid something being done for posix sake when it isn't actually posix. on the other hand it is interresting that kill is in the list. speaking of kill, how do i kill a job based on the job number? > cat /dev/zero | less & > kill (jobs -p %1) didn't really work. for some reason i had to use kill -9, in bash the same job was killable just fine. > It would be really easy to provide this type of functionality built > into fish through some magical ([{\{REGEX\}}]) syntax, like e.g. bash > does, but what would be the point?
