[Moderator note: This post, and the first two responses to it, were originally attached to the 11 year dead [solved] Pausing emerge to allow for cool-down. -Hu]

Sorry for picking up a dead topic, but I have a question on this. Hope it's OK to post here.

Is there a "list command" for suspended jobs? If i suspend more than one job with CTRL-Z, it would be handy to get all the suspended jobs (something like screen -ls but only for suspended jobs).

That command is unsurprisingly called "jobs".

doedel ... as grumblebear pointed out, that command is 'jobs', but not all shells are created equal, with zsh you get tab completion with 'fg' (forground):

Code:
% vim test ; ps aux | less ; watch 'dmesg | tail -n $(( +LINES ? LINES - 4 : 20 ))'
% jobs -l
[1]    29048 suspended  vim -p test
[2]  - 29049 done       ps aux |
       29050 suspended  less
[3]  + 29051 suspended  watch 'dmesg | tail -n $(( +LINES ? LINES - 4 : 20 ))'
% fg <TAB>
---- job
%1  -- vim -p test
%2  -- ps aux | less
%3  -- watch 'dmesg | tail -n $(( +LINES ? LINES - 4 : 20 ))'

You can then tab select, and/or cycle through, job (with '%{n}' or '%{command}' also having tab completion) ... 'cntl-u' to abort/cancel.

best ... khay
