You can't, because make doesn't keep a list of slots like this. You can read more details about how the jobserver works on my website below, but in short make reads a single character token from a pipe and when it gets one, that allows make to run a job. All the tokens look exactly the same so there's no way for make to know which slot is being used. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
