stopping jobs
 

when i hit command "jobs" , it lists out all the jobs.

how to kill jobs number 3 if i want to? Do i still need to run ps -ef | greb something and kill the process id?

THanks.

nope, just do

or, if you like

that works (in bash at least)

Another alternative is to run 'top'.

I'm assuming your distro has 'top' installed.

'top' will list all the running process in realtime and the defualt kill signal I believe is '15'.
Read the 'top' man page (man top) and that'll getya going.
Another thing you can do ( just for the sake of learning) is from a command line---: kill -l
That'll list all the SIG*** options for killing a process, etc.

I hope I presented this so its clear and it does'nt seem like Martian hieroglyphics!
