i can confirm the behavior. i believe the message is in error though. because the job in the background is not actually stopped. there should be a different message instead or fish should just exit. apart from that, the behavior is the same as bash. stopped jobs get a notice, and the second time bash exits and the stopped jobs are killed. jobs running in the background are reparented without a warning. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
