"A job ID is a token used to identify jobs to shell builtins. Job IDs begin with the % character; %n identifies job n, while %% identifies the current job."
I'm using bash. When e.g. using the jobs command, I get a list of jobs, but there are no literal percentage characters. Could someone clarify in which situations percentage characters are visible to identify jobs? Thanks, --Abdull (talk) 23:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
